Network Engineering
• The process concerned with optimally selecting topology
and bandwidth in a layer network, based on
– (pro-active) traffic demands expected between any two locations in the
network and
– (re-active) the actual traffic demand
• It is an inter layer network process
• NwE process in each layer network
– advertises the nodes and their ports within the layer network
– monitors the layer network and determines if/when a new (topological)
link should be added or an existing link should be modified or
released, based on the network provider's policy
– determines best set of connections between ports in the layer network
– requests those connections to be set up by its server layer networks;
i.e. generates outgoing calls for client connections
• It is implemented by the (distributed) Network Engineering
Controllers (NEC) within the layer network

Internet protocol
• Provides best effort, connectionless packet delivery
– motivated by need to keep routers simple and by
adaptibility to failure of network elements
– packets may be lost, out of order, or even duplicated
– higher layer protocols must deal with these, if necessary
• RFCs 791, 950, 919, 922, and 2474.
• Internet STD also includes:
– Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), RFC 792
– Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), RFC 1112

Node
(switch or router)
• Three possible (loopfree) routes from 1 to 6:
– 1-3-6, 1-4-5-6, 1-2-5-6
• Which is “best”?
– Min delay? Min hop? Max bandwidth? Min cost?
Max reliability?

• Inputs contain multiplexed flows from access muxs & other packet
switches
• Flows demultiplexed at input, routed and/or forwarded to output
ports
• Packets buffered, prioritized, and multiplexed on output lines

Large switches built from crossbar & multistage space switches
Requires centralized controller/scheduler (who sends to whom
when)
Can buffer at input, output, or both (performance vs complexity)

UDP Multiplexing
• All UDP datagrams arriving to IP address B and
destination port number n are delivered to the same

• Expanded addressing capabilities
• Header format simplification
• Improved support for extensions and
options
• Flow labelling capability
• Authentication and privacy capabilities

Basic Headers
• IPv6 Header
• IPv4 Header
19
Basic Headers
• Fields
– Version (4 bits) – only field to keep same position and
name
– Class (8 bits) – new field
– Flow Label (20 bits) – new field
– Payload Length (16 bits) – length of data, slightly
different from total length
– Next Header (8 bits) – type of the next header, new idea
– Hop Limit (8 bits) – was time-to-live, renamed
– Source address (128 bits)
– Destination address (128 bits)
20
Basic Headers
• Simplifications
– Fixed length of all fields, not like old options field –
IHL, or header length irrelevant
– Remove Header Checksum – rely on checksums at
other layers
– No hop-by-hop fragmentation – fragment offset
irrelevant – MTU discovery
– Add extension headers – next header type (sort of
a protocol type, or replacement for options)
– Basic Principle: Routers along the way should do
minimal processing
