Intro to Switching
•
•
•
Build a large network by interconnecting a number of switches
Easily add new hosts
Switching Techniques
– Datagram or connectionless (Ethernet)
• Unique address
• No need to setup connection
– Virtual circuit or connection-oriented (ATM)
• Set up connection and maintain connection state
– Source routing
• Source specify the whole or partial route to the destination
Ethernet Hub
• Hub is just a repeater
– Receive signal from one port and broadcast to all other ports
• Extends max distance between nodes, but collisions
are propagated
– Individual segment collision domains become one large
collision domain
• Cannot interconnect different LAN technologies, e.g.
10BaseT & 100BaseT
hub
hub
hub
hub
Bridges/LAN switches
• Link layer device
– stores and forwards frames
– examines frame header and selectively forwards frame based
on MAC dest address
– when frame is to be forwarded on segment, uses the
corresponding MAC to access segment (e.g. CSMA/CD for
Ethernet)

Bridges/LAN switches (Cont.)
• Interconnect multiple LANs, possibly even
support different IEEE 802.x types, e.g. 802.3
and 802.5, 802.11, but NOT 802.x with ATM

Ethernet Hubs vs. Ethernet Switches
• An Ethernet switch is a packet switch for Ethernet
frames
• Buffering of frames prevents collisions
• Each port is isolated and builds its own collision domain
– Break subnet into LAN segments
• Host can directly connect to switch, no collision, full duplex
• An Ethernet Hub does not perform buffering:
• Collisions occur if two frames arrive at the same time.

Transparent Bridges
Three parts to transparent bridges:
(1) Learning of Addresses
(2) Forwarding of Frames
(3) Spanning Tree Algorithm
Self Learning (Learning Bridges)
•
Forwarding tables entries are set automatically with a simple heuristic:
The source address field of a frame that arrives on a port tells which
host is reachable from this port.
– When a frame received, switch “learns” location of sender
– records sender/location pair in forwarding table with TTL = MAX_TTL
• TTL reset to MAX_TTL every time a frame with the same source
addr is received to refresh the existing table entry
• Entry removed when TTL counts down to 0
Src=x, Dest=y
Port 1
Port 4
x is at Port 1
y is at Port 5
Port 2
Port 5
Port 3
Port 6
Src=x, Dest=y
Frame Forwarding/Filtering
When switch receives a frame:
index forwarding table using MAC dest address
if entry found for destination
then{
if dest on the same port from which frame arrived
then drop the frame (filtering)
else forward the frame on port indicated
}
else flood
Forward on all but the port
on which the frame arrived
Example
•Consider the following packets:
(Src=A, Dest=F),
(Src=C, Dest=A), (Src=E, Dest=C)
•What have the bridges learned?

Danger of Loops
• Consider the two LANs that are
connected by two bridges.
• Assume host n is transmitting a
frame F with unknown destination.
What is happening?
F
• Bridges A and B flood the frame
Bridge A
to LAN 2.
F
• Bridge B sees F on LAN 2 (with
unknown destination), and copies
the frame back to LAN 1
• Bridge A does the same.
• The copying continues

Spanning Trees / Transparent Bridges
• A solution is to prevent loops in the
topology

Bridge 4
Bridge 3
• IEEE 802.1d has an algorithm that
organizes the bridges as spanning
tree in a dynamic environment
Bridge 1
LAN 5
– Note: Trees don’t have loops
Bridge 5
• Bridges that run 802.1d are called
transparent bridges
LAN 1
Bridge 2
LAN 3
LAN 4
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
• Each bridge has a unique ID (MAC addr + priority level)
• Select the bridge with the smallest ID as the root of the spanning
tree, called “root bridge”
– All the ports on the root bridge are active (forwards the frames)
• Each bridge determines the minimum-cost path from itself to the root
and nodes which of its port is on the path (root port)
– Link cost: the cost of traversing a single network segment (link)
– Path cost: the sum of the costs of the segments (links) on the path
• an administrator can configure the cost of traversing a particular
segment (link)
• E.g. set the cost for every segment to 1, the path cost is a count of
the number of bridges along the path.
– Root path cost: the cost of the minimum-cost path from this bridge to
the root
– Root port: the port connecting to the minimum-cost path on this bridge
– Breaking ties: When multiple paths from a bridge are min-cost paths,
choose the path using the neighbor bridge with the lower bridge ID.
– If the multiple ports connects this bridge and the neighbor bridge on the
root path, choose the port with the lowest port ID as the root port.
Spanning Tree Protocol (Cont.)
• Select a single “designated bridge” and its designated
port on each LAN segment
– Designated bridge: the bridge on that LAN segment with the
minimum-cost path to the root. Only designated bridge allowed to
forward frames to and from this LAN segment.
• If two or more bridges have the same root path cost, choose the one
with the lowest bridge ID
– Designated port: the port connecting the designated bridge to
this LAN segment
• If the designated bridges has two or more ports attached to this LAN,
choose the port with the lowest port ID
• Any port that is not a root port or a designated port is
blocked.
Spanning Tree Protocol (Cont.)
• Bridges exchange messages to configure the bridge (Configuration
Bridge Protocol Data Unit, CBPDUs) to cut the loop and build the
tree.
– Source addr: port MAC addr, Dest. addr: STP multicast address
– <sending bridge ID, root bridge ID, root path cost>
• At the beginning, each bridge considers itself to be the root, sends
CBPDU identifying itself as root
• Upon receiving a CBPDU, check if the new path is better
–
if better, update its STP record, forward the message after updating
the root path cost in the message
– After stabilization, only the root bridge generates new CBPDUs
regularly, others stops generate CBPDUs once learning it is not a root
• From a non-root port, receives a CBPDU indicating it is not the
designated bridge for that segment, goes to blocking state
• BPDU is still received in blocking state.

B3 receives (B2,0,B2)
Since 2<3, B3 accepts B2 as root
B3 adds 1 to distance advertised
by B2 and sends (B2,1,B3) to B5
Meanwhile B2 accepts B1 as
root because it has lower ID and
sends (B1,1,B2) to B3
B5 accepts B1 as root and sends
(B1,1,B5) towards B3
B3 accepts B1 as root and it
notes that both B2 and B5 are
closer to the root than it is.
B3 stops fowarding messages on
both its interfaces

Transmission Convergence Sublayer (TCS): adapts ATM layer above to PMD
sublayer below
– Specific to the PMD
– Cell delineation
– Cell rate decoupling, inserting idle (empty) cells when no data cells to send
(with “unstructured” PMD sublayer)
Physical Layer Medium Dependent Sublayer (PMD): depends on physical
medium being used
– Probably use existing standards and technology
– Medium, line code, connectors
ATM Physical Layer (Cont.)
Physical Medium Dependent (PMD) sublayer
• SONET/SDH: transmission frame structure
(like a container carrying bits);
– bit synchronization;
– bandwidth partitions (TDM);
– several speeds: OC3 = 155.52 Mbps; OC12 =
622.08 Mbps; OC48 = 2.45 Gbps, OC192 = 9.6

Virtual Circuit Switching
•
Establish connection (virtual circuit) before any data is sent
– Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC), manually or setup signaling
initiated by the network administrator,
• Long lasting connections, e.g. “permanent” coonections for two IP
routers
– Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC), setup using signaling by one of
the hosts
–
• Dynamically set up on per-call basis
Negotiate QoS (bandwidth, delay, etc)
– link,switch resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC: to get
circuit-like performance
•
•
•
Each switch on source-destination path maintains “connection state”
for each passing connection
– Incoming interface, incoming virtual circuit identifier (VCI),
outgoing interface, outgoing VCI, reserved bandwidth, buffer,
delay…
Tear down
Forwarding: each cell/packet carries VC identifier (not destination ID)

• Bundles of Virtual Channels are switched via Virtual Paths
– Better scalability (i.e. more capable of growing to large
numbers of circuits)
CLP
ATM VCs
• Advantages of ATM VC approach:
– QoS performance guarantee for connection
mapped to VC (bandwidth, delay, delay jitter)
• Drawbacks of ATM VC approach:
– Inefficient support of datagram traffic
– one PVC between each source/dest pair) does not
scale (N*2 connections needed)
– SVC introduces call setup latency, processing
overhead for short lived connections

ATM Addressing
• Public networks
– E.164 numbers (telephone numbers)
– Up to 15 digits
• Private networks
– 20 byte address
– Format modeled after OSI NSAP (Network Service
Access Point)
– Mechanisms for administration exist
– Hierarchical structure will facilitate virtual
connection routing in large ATM networks
– MAC address will be encapsulated within NSAP

IP-over-ATM (Cont)
• Packet journey in IP-over-ATM network
– at Source Host (IP-over-ATM router):
• IP layer maps between IP and ATM dest address
– IP packet into ATM AAL5 PDUs
– from IP addresses to ATM addresses just like IP
addresses to 802.3 MAC addresses (ARP)
• passes datagram to AAL5
• AAL5 encapsulates data, segments cells, passes to ATM
layer
– ATM network: moves cell along VC to destination
– at Destination Host (IP-over-ATM router): :
• AAL5 reassembles cells into original datagram
• if CRC OK, packet is passed to IP
Ethernet Switching vs. Virtual Circuit Switching
•
•
•
•
•
•
No connection setup
(connection less)
Packet carries dest. addr.
Switching based on globally
unique MAC address
a host does not know whether
the network is capable of
delivering the packet when it
sends the packet
Each packet is forwarded
independently and may be out
of order
A switch and link failure might
not have any serious effect if it
is possible to find an alternate
route
•
•
•
•
•
•
Establish connection state before
sending any data (connection
oriented)
– Setup latency, processing
overhead, scalability (capability
to grow to a large network)
Packet/cell carries VCI
Switching based on incoming port +
VCI (unique per port)
– VCI changed at the output port
Negotiate the QoS parameters and
allocate resources (buffer,
bandwidth) to VC
– If not enough resource, reject
the connection request
– QoS performance guranteed for
connection (bandwidth, delay,
delay jitter)
Each cell is routed along the
established connection in order
If a switch or a link fail, tear down
the old connection and establish a
new connection
Many ATM ideas adopted in IP networks called MPLS (more later)

Today’s Homework
• Q26 from vol. 4
The IP datagram for a TCP ACK message is 40B long.
It contains 20B TCP header and 20B IP header.
Assume that this ACK is traversing an ATM network that
uses AAL5. How many ATM cells will be needed to
carry the ACK. What if AAL3/4 is used instead?
