CSC 600 Internetworking with TCP/IP Unit 9: TCP/IP over ATM (ch. 18) Dr. Cheer-Sun Yang Spring 2001 Most of the slides were taken from William Stalling’s Book. William Stallings Data and Computer Communications Chapter 11 Asynchronous Transfer Mode and Frame Relay Protocol Architecture • Similarities between ATM and packet switching – Transfer of data in discrete chunks – Multiple logical connections over single physical interface • In ATM flow on each logical connection is in fixed sized packets called cells • Minimal error and flow control – Reduced overhead • Data rates (physical layer) 25.6Mbps to 622.08Mbps Protocol Architecture Protocol Architecture Reference Model Planes • User plane – Provides for user information transfer • Control plane – Call and connection control • Management plane – Plane management • whole system functions – Layer management • Resources and parameters in protocol entities Control Plane • Between subscriber and network • Separate logical channel used – Similar to common channel signaling for circuit switching services • Data link layer – – – – – LAPD (Q.921) Reliable data link control Error and flow control Between user (TE) and network (NT) Used for exchange of Q.933 control signal messages User Plane • End to end functionality • Transfer of info between ends • LAPF (Link Access Procedure for Frame Mode Bearer Services) Q.922 – Frame delimiting, alignment and transparency – Frame mux and demux using addressing field – Ensure frame is integral number of octets (zero bit insertion/extraction) – Ensure frame is neither too long nor short – Detection of transmission errors – Congestion control functions ATM Hardware Large ATM Networks The Logical View of an ATM Network The Logical View of an ATM Network • The goal of ATM is an end-to-end communication system. • ATM hides the details of physical hardware. • ATM hardware provides attached computers with the appearance of a single, physical network. ATM Logical Connections • • • • • • • Virtual channel connections (VCC) Analogous to virtual circuit in X.25 Basic unit of switching Between two end users Full duplex Fixed size cells Data, user-network exchange (control) and network-network exchange (network management and routing) • Virtual path connection (VPC) – Bundle of VCC with same end points ATM Connections • ATM provides connection-oriented interface to attached hosts using two paradigms: – Permanent Virtual Circuits – Switched Virtual Circuits ATM Connections • ATM assigns each circuit a virtual circuit identifier (VCI). ATM Connection Relationships Advantages of Virtual Paths • Simplified network architecture • Increased network performance and reliability • Reduced processing • Short connection setup time • Enhanced network services Call Establishment Using VPs Virtual Channel Connection Uses • Between end users – End to end user data – Control signals – VPC provides overall capacity • VCC organization done by users • Between end user and network – Control signaling • Between network entities – Network traffic management – Routing VP/VC Characteristics • Quality of service • Switched and semi-permanent channel connections • Call sequence integrity • Traffic parameter negotiation and usage monitoring • VPC only – Virtual channel identifier restriction within VPC Control Signaling - VCC • Done on separate connection • Semi-permanent VCC • Meta-signaling channel – Used as permanent control signal channel • User to network signaling virtual channel – For control signaling – Used to set up VCCs to carry user data • User to user signaling virtual channel – Within pre-established VPC – Used by two end users without network intervention to establish and release user to user VCC Control Signaling - VPC • Semi-permanent • Customer controlled • Network controlled ATM Cells • • • • Fixed size 5 octet header 48 octet information field Small cells reduce queuing delay for high priority cells • Small cells can be switched more efficiently • Easier to implement switching of small cells in hardware ATM Cell Format Header Format • Generic flow control – Only at user to network interface – Controls flow only at this point • Virtual path identifier • Virtual channel identifier • Payload type – e.g. user info or network management • Cell loss priority • Header error control Transmission of ATM Cells • • • • • • 622.08Mbps 155.52Mbps 51.84Mbps 25.6Mbps Cell Based physical layer SDH based physical layer Cell Based Physical Layer • No framing imposed • Continuous stream of 53 octet cells • Cell delineation based on header error control field ATM Adaptation Layer • Support for information transfer protocol not based on ATM • PCM (voice) – Assemble bits into cells – Re-assemble into constant flow • IP – Map IP packets onto ATM cells – Fragment IP packets – Use LAPF over ATM to retain all IP infrastructure Adaptation Layer Services • • • • Handle transmission errors Segmentation and re-assembly Handle lost and incorrectly inserted cells Flow control and timing Supported Application types • • • • • Circuit emulation VBR voice and video General data service IP over ATM Multiprotocol encapsulation over ATM (MPOA) – IPX, AppleTalk, DECNET) • LAN emulation AAL Protocols • Convergence sublayer (CS) – Support for specific applications – AAL user attaches at SAP • Segmentation and re-assembly sublayer (SAR) – Packages and unpacks info received from CS into cells • Four types – – – – Type 1 Type 2 Type 3/4 Type 5 AAL Protocols AAL Type 1 • CBR source • SAR packs and unpacks bits • Block accompanied by sequence number AAL Type 2 • VBR • Analog applications AAL Type 3/4 • Connectionless or connected • Message mode or stream mode AAL Type 5 • Streamlined transport for connection oriented higher layer protocols CPCS PDUs Example AAL 5 Transmission Segmentation and Reassembly PDU Datagram Encapsulation and IP MTU Size • IP uses AAL5 to transfer datagrams across an ATM network. • Before data can be sent, a virtual circuit (PVS or SVC) must be in place and both ends must agree to use AAL5 on the circuit. Datagram Encapsulation and IP MTU Size • To transfer a datagram, the sender passes it to AAL5 along with the VPI/VCI identifying the circuit. • AAL5 generates a trailer, divides the datagram into cells, and transfers the cells across the network. • At the receiving end, AAL5 reassembles the cells, checks the CRC to verify that no bits were lost or corrupted, extracts the datagram, and passes it to IP. Datagram Encapsulation and IP MTU Size • When TCP/IP sends data across an ATM network, it transfers an entire datagram using ATM Adaptation Layer5. Although AAL5 can accept and transfer packets that contain up to 64K octets, IP must fragment any datagram larger than 9180 octets before passing it to AAL5 according to TCP/IP standard. Packet Type and Multiplexing • The two computers at the end of a virtual circuit agree a priori that the circuit will be used for a specific protocol (e.g., the circuit will only be used to send IP datagram). • The two computers at the ends of a VC agree a priori that some octets of the data area will be reserved for use as a type field. IP Address Binding • IP address binding in a non-broadcast multiple access (NBMA) environment can be difficult. Difficulties RE IP Address Binding – ATM physical address is larger than an IP address – ATM hardware does not support broadcast; ARP cannot be used to resolve address mapping. Difficulties RE IP Address Binding – An ATM network manager manually configures each PVC, a host only knows the circuit’s VPI/VCI pair. Software on this host may not know the IP address of the remote host. – Switched connection-oriented technologies further complicate address binding because they require two levels of binding. First, when creating a virtual circuit, the dest. IP address must be mapped to an ATM endpoint address. Second, when sending a datagram, the dest IP address must be mapped to the VPI/VCI pair for the circuit. Logical IP Subnet Concept • Although no protocol has been proposed to solve the general case of address binding, a protocol has been devised for a restricted form. • The case aries when a group of computers uses an ATM network in place of a LAN. The group formss a Logical IP Subnet (LIS). • Multiple LISs can be defines among a set of computers that all attached to the same ATM hardware network. Logical IP Subnet Concept • ATM allows a subset of computers attached to an ATM network to operate like an independent LAN. • Computers in the same LIS share a single IP network prefix. • A computer must use a router to communicate with a computer in another LIS. Unanswered Questions • How can switching hardware be exploited to forward IP traffic at higher speeds? • How does Label Switching work? • How can IP forwarding be optimized?
