2. The IP service model
• The IP service model consists of
– an addressing scheme to identify an IP host, and
– a datagram (connectionless) model of data delivery.
• IP provides a best-effort service.
– IP makes its best effort to send a datagram to its
destination.
– The best-effort service does not guarantee reliable
datagram delivery, i.e., an unreliable service.

4. IP datagram
• Version: 4 for the current IP.
• Type of service (TOS) for specifying how a
router should handle this datagram.
• Header length handles a variable-length header.
– 20-byte IP header without IP options
• A 16-bit length limits the size of an IP datagram
to 65,535 bytes, including the IP header.
• Identification, flags, and offset are used for
packet fragmentation and reassembly.
6
4. IP datagram
• Time to live (TTL) limits the the number of
times that a datagram processed by routers.
• Protocol specifies the type of payload, e.g., 6
for TCP and 17 for UDP.
• Checksum is a 16-bit word checksum.
• IP options, e.g.,
– Source routing
– Record route

5. MTU and packet fragmentation
• Each network chooses a maximum packet size
that can be sent on it, Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU). For example,
– 1500 bytes for 10-Mbps Ethernet
– 4352 bytes for FDDI
– 17914 bytes for 16-Mbps token ring
• Note that all MTUs are smaller than IP
datagram’s maximum size.
• One internetworking problem is to
accommodate various MTU values.
8
5. MTU and packet fragmentation
• To send datagrams to a directly attached host,
use the network’s MTU.
• To send datagrams to a nondirectly attached
host, use the path MTU.
– Path MTU is the minimum of the networks’ MTUs
on the path from the source to destination.
• If the actual MTU used is larger than the path
MTU, packet fragmentation occurs.
– Fragmentation occurs when a router attempts to
forward it to a network with a smaller MTU.

5. MTU and packet fragmentation
• Each IP fragment contains enough information
for forwarding to the destination.
• A fragmented IP datagram will be reassembled
only at the destination node.
• If any fragments do not arrive within a certain
time, other received fragments in the datagram
will be discarded.
• Fragmentation could occur multiple times to an
IP datagram.
12
6. IP subnets
• IP subnets introduce additional levels within an
IP network:
– A network address, a subnet ID, and a host ID.
• IP subnets offer flexibility in allocating
addresses to different sizes of sub-networks.
• A subnet mask is used to indicate which bits are
referred to the network and subnet ID.
– Each network interface stores subnet mask and its
unicast IP address.
13
6. IP subnets
• Subnetting for a class B address:

7. IP forwarding mechanisms
• Assume that both routers and hosts already
have appropriate routing tables in place.
– Routing tables for routers are constructed from
routing protocols.
– Routing tables for hosts are constructed from other
means.
• Problem: Given a routing table, how do hosts
and routers forward datagrams?
16
7.1 Examples of routing tables
• For example, R1’s routing table:
–
–
–
–
Network/Subnet
128.96.34.0
128.96.34.128
128.96.33.0
Subnet Mask
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.128
255.255.255.0
Next Hop
upper int.
lower int.
128.96.34.129
• For example, H1’s routing table:
– Network/Subnet
– 128.96.34.0
– 0.0.0.0
Subnet Mask
Next Hop
255.255.255.128 upper int.
0.0.0.0
128.96.34.1
17
7.2 Host’s forwarding mechanisms
• A host sends a datagram to another host on the
same LAN or not.
– In the former, it sends the datagram to the
destination directly.
– In the latter, it sends the datagram to a default
router.
– In both cases, the host uses ARP cache or ARP to
find out the corresponding MAC addresses.
18
7.3 A general forwarding mechanism
D = Destination IP address
for each entry (Network/Subnet ID, Subnet Mask, Next Hop)
D1 = Subnet mask & D
if D1 = Network/Subnet ID
if Next Hop is an interface
deliver datagram directly to destination
else
deliver datagram to Next Hop (a router)
19
7.4 Characteristics of IP forwarding
• Both hosts and routers are involved in
forwarding.
– Compared with routers, a host makes a much
simpler binary decision.
• IP forwarding is done on a hop-by-hop basis.
• It is assumed that the next-hop router is really
closer to the destination.
• IP forwarding is able to specify a route to a
network, and not have to specify a route to
every host.
20
8. IP tunnels
• Two network nodes (hosts or routers) may
“tunnel” IP datagrams between them.
– Other nodes on the path are not aware of the other
datagram encapsulated by the outer datagram.
– A tunnel configured from R1 to R2, which is
assigned with a virtual number of 0:
•
•
•
•
Network
1
2
Default
Next Hop
Interface 0
Virtual interface 0
Interface 1
21
8. IP tunnels
• Network interfaces configured as tunnel
endpoints perform IP-in-IP encapsulation.
– When sending datagrams to each other, the sender
uses its IP address as the source address and the
other’s IP address as the destination address.
– Each performs IP-in-IP encapsulation/decapsulation
and then IP routing.
– A datagram may traverse several IP tunnels before
arriving at the destination.

8.2 Uses of IP tunnels
• Mobile IP: IP tunnel between a foreign agent
(or a mobile host) and a home agent.
• Mbone (Multicast backbone): IP tunnels
connect islands of multicast-enabled IP
networks.
• IPv6: IP tunnels will be used for IPv4-IPv6
transition.
• IPSec: IP tunnels with security is used in
establishing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).

9. Dynamic host configuration protocol
• DHCP provides a framework for passing
configuration information to hosts.
– IP addresses, address of a default router, etc.
• DHCP is a client-server system, including a
relay agent.
• DHCP operation:
– A DHCP client initially broadcasts a DISCOVER
message to find a DHCP server.
• If the server is not directly connected to the client, a relay
agent on the LAN will forward this message to the server.
26
9. Dynamic host configuration protocol
– The server sends an OFFER message back to the
relay agent, which then forwards it in either unicast
or broadcast back to the client.
– Upon accepting an OFFER from a DHCP server,
the client sends a REQUEST message to that server.
– The final step is for the server to send a REQUEST
ACK back to the client.
• DHCP provides IP addresses to clients for a
finite lease duration.
– The client either renews the lease or rebinds to
another new address.

10. Internet control message protocol
• The main functions associated with the ICMP
are error reporting, reachability test, and routechange notification.
• ICMP reports errors to the source for host
unreachable, lost of fragments, etc.
• Ping program uses ICMP echo request and
reply to test a host’s aliveness.
• ICMP sends a re-direct message for a better
route back to the source.
