Address
resolution
Domain
Name

?
Netadapter address
e.g. Ethernet address 00:08:74:35:2b:0a

Host identification and routing specification within a subnetwork

based on the (local) physical network addresses of the end systems


e.g. station address of the adapter card
Problem


Different address styles for different layer 2 protocols
IP address must be mapped onto the physical network address, 48 bit
for Ethernet



Direct mapping possible for IPv6
But impossible for IPv4

Address Resolution: Methods

Address resolution in



Source ES, if destination ES is local (direct routing)
Gateway, if destination ES is not local
Solutions

Direct homogeneous Addressing

if the physical address can be changed by the user



physical address = Hostid of the IP address
Only possible if physical address is also longer than hostid
If the physical address is pre-defined or if it has to have a different
format, one of the following has to be used

a mapping table from the configuration data base (IPaddr  HWaddr),



the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)


e.g. in the Gateway,
may become maintenance nightmare
mainly applied in LANs with broadcasting facility

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

Process

Broadcast ARP request datagram on LAN




Every machine on LAN receives this request and checks address
Reply by sending ARP response datagram



including receiver’s IP address (desired value)
sender’s physical (HW) and IP address (IP)
machine which has requested address responses
including the physical address
Enter the pair (I,P) into buffer for future requests

Refinement



The receiver of the ARP request stores the sender’s (I,P) pair in its
cache
Send own table during the boot process (but may be too old)
Entries in ARP cache should time out after some time (few minutes)

Solution 1: proxy ARP

the local router knows all remote networks with their respective
routers



To WAN
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
responds to local ARP
local ES 1 sends data for ES 4 always to the local router, this router
forwards the data (by interpreting the IP address contained in the
data)
Solution 2: remote network address is known


local ES 1 sends data to the appropriate remote router
local router forwards packets



DHCP




server answers
DHCP server is used for assignment


simplifies installation and configuration of end systems
allows for manual and automatic IP address assignment
may provide additional configuration information (DNS server, netmask, default
router, etc.)
Client broadcasts DHCP DISCOVER packet


extends functionality
request can be relayed by DHCP relay agent, if server on other LAN
Address is assigned for limited time only


before the ’lease’ expires, client must renew it
allows to reclaim addresses of disappearing hosts

IP Routing: Internal and External Routing

Direct Routing/ Interior Protocols:





N0
Both source and destination ES
are located in the same
subnetwork
N1
source ES sends datagram to the
destination ES
identification done by the local
address  mapping
routing is completely defined by
the subnetwork routing algorithm
N2
N4
N5
N3
Indirect Routing/Exterior Protocols:

Source and destination ES are located on different networks



source ES sends datagram to the next router
each router determines the next router on the path to the destination ES
routing decision is based only on

Routing Information Protocol (RIP)

Background (regarding the originally used protocol)



Principle


developed as a part of Berkeley UNIX
since 1988, RIP Version 1, RFC 1058
i.e.

Distributed routing algorithm: Distance-Vector-Procedure
IS periodically sends a list
containing estimated distances to each destination
to its neighbors

distance


periodical


number of hops: 0 .. 15 (15 corresponds to infinite)
every 30 sec; after 180 sek without packet  distance infinite
RIP Version 2

G. Malkin, RFC 1387, 1388 and 1389 (RIP-MIB)



Uses multicast if necessary to distribute data
Not broadcast (so that all ES also receive this)
Networks without broadcast or multicast (ISDN, ATM)



INF-3190: Internet
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

Background: since 1990 Internet Standard, RFCs 1247, 2178


Transition from vector-distance to link-state-protocol
Principle (link-state-protocol)

IS measures "distance" to the immediately adjacent IS, distributes the
information, calculates the optimal route


determine the address of adjacent IS
measure the "distance" (delay, ..) to adjacent IS


OSPF permits differing metrics
selection per packet possible (RFC 1349)
OSPF no.

Maximize reliability
Maximize throughput
Minimize delay
process local link-state information as a packet
distribute information to all adjacent IS by flooding
compute route from the information of all IS e.g. with Dijkstra’s "shortest

Exterior Gateway Protocol
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

Algorithm

Fundamentals: based on distance vector mechanism, where

IS sends periodically to its neighbours a list containing


the estimated distances from itself to all known destinations
BGP uses distance path mechanism

Related to distance vector


IS sends periodically a list to its neighbours containing


But without count-to-infinity problem
estimated distance and preferred Path
from itself to each destination
for a specified block of reachable IP addresses
Receiving IS evaluates path


Distance
Policy compliance
 notion of a path / of how to reach other routers is distributed
 but, no criteria for selecting a route is distributed

each BGP router must have its own criteria, i.e. policy


Remarks


e.g. never send using certain AS
Big updates
But only a limited number of routers
