IP & OSI In OSI reference model terminology the IP protocol covers the network layer. IP can be used on many data-link layers (can support many network hardware implementations). Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

But First . Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

Ethernet - A Real Data-Link Layer It will be useful to discuss a real data-link layer. Ethernet (really IEEE 802.3) is widely used. Supported by a variety of physical layer implementations. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

Ethernet Multi-access (shared medium). Every Ethernet interface has a unique 48 bit address (a.k.a. hardware address). Example: C0:B3:44:17:21:17 The broadcast address is all 1’s. Addresses are assigned to vendors by a central authority. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection Carrier Sense: can tell when another host is transmitting Multiple Access: many hosts on 1 wire Collision Detection: can tell when another host transmits at the same time. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

An Ethernet Frame Preamble 8 bytes Destination Source Address Address 6 6 Len DATA CRC 2 0-1500 4 The preamble is a sequence of alternating 1s and 0s used for synchronization. CRC is Cyclic Redundancy Check Netprog 2002 TCP/IP

Ethernet Addressing Each interface looks at every frame and inspects the destination address. If the address does not match the hardware address of the interface or the broadcast address, the frame is discarded. Some interfaces can also be programmed to recognize multicast addresses.

Back to IP Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

Internet Protocol The IP in UDP/IP and TCP/IP IP is the network layer packet delivery service (host-to-host). translation between different data-link protocols. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

IP Datagrams IP provides connectionless, unreliable delivery of IP datagrams. Connectionless: each datagram is independent of all others. Unreliable: there is no guarantee that datagrams are delivered correctly or at all. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

IP Addresses same as the underlying data-link (MAC) addresses. Rensselaer IP addresses are not the Why ? Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

IP Addresses IP is a network layer - it must be capable of providing communication between hosts on different kinds of networks (different data-link implementations). The address must include information about what network the receiving host is on. This makes routing feasible. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

IP Addresses IP addresses are logical addresses (not physical) 32 bits. Includes a network ID and a host ID. Every host must have a unique IP address. IP addresses are assigned by a central authority (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers -- ICANN) Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

The four formats of IP Addresses Class A 00 NetID NetID B 10 10 HostID HostID NetID NetID C 110 110 D 1110 8 bits HostID HostID HostID HostID NetID NetID Multicast Group ID 8 bits 8 bits 8 bits Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

Class Class AA 128 128 possible possible network network IDs IDs over over 44 million million host host IDs IDs per per network network ID ID Class Class BB 16K 16K possible possible network network IDs IDs 64K 64K host host IDs IDs per per network network ID ID Class Class C C over over 22 million million possible possible network network IDs IDs about host IDs per network ID about 256 256 host IDs per network ID Netprog 2002 TCP/IP Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

Network and Host IDs A Network ID is assigned to an organization by a global authority. Host IDs are assigned locally by a system administrator. Both the Network ID and the Host ID are used for routing. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 1

IP Addresses IP Addresses are usually shown in dotted decimal notation: 1.2.3.4 00000001 00000010 00000011 cs.rpi.edu is 128.213.1.1 00000100 10000000 11010101 00000001 00000001 CS has a class B network Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Host and Network Addresses A single network interface is assigned a single IP address called the host address. A host may have multiple interfaces, and therefore multiple host addresses. Hosts that share a network all have the same IP network address (the network ID). Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

IP Broadcast and Network Addresses An IP broadcast addresses has a host ID of all 1s. IP broadcasting is not necessarily a true broadcast, it relies on the underlying hardware technology. An IP address that has a host ID of all 0s is called a network address and refers to an entire network. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Subnet Addresses An organization can subdivide it’s host address space into groups called subnets. The subnet ID is generally used to group hosts based on the physical network topology. 10 10 NetID NetID SubnetID SubnetID HostID HostID Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Subnetting router Subnet 1 128.213.1.x Subnet 2 128.213.2.x Subnet 3 128.213.3.x Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Subnetting Subnets can simplify routing. IP subnet broadcasts have a hostID of all 1s. It is possible to have a single wire network with multiple subnets. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Mapping IP Addresses to Hardware Addresses IP Addresses are not recognized by hardware. If we know the IP address of a host, how do we find out the hardware address ? The process of finding the hardware address of a host given the IP address is called Address Resolution Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

Reverse Address Resolution The process of finding out the IP address of a host given a hardware address is called Reverse Address Resolution Reverse address resolution is needed by diskless workstations when booting. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

ARP Arp Arp! The Address Resolution Protocol is used by a sending host when it knows the IP address of the destination but needs the Ethernet address. ARP is a broadcast protocol - every host on the network receives the request. Each host checks the request against it’s IP address - the right one responds. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

ARP (cont.) ARP does not need to be done every time an IP datagram is sent - hosts remember the hardware addresses of each other. Part of the ARP protocol specifies that the receiving host should also remember the IP and hardware addresses of the sending host. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 2

ARP conversation HEY - Everyone please listen! Will 128.213.1.5 please send me his/her Ethernet address? not me Hi Green! I’m 128.213.1.5, and my Ethernet address is 87:A2:15:35:02:C3 Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

RARP conversation HEY - Everyone please listen! My Ethernet address is 22:BC:66:17:01:75. Does anyone know my IP address ? not me Hi Green! Your IP address is 128.213.1.17. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

Services provided by IP Connectionless Delivery (each datagram is treated individually). Unreliable (delivery is not guaranteed). Fragmentation / Reassembly (based on hardware MTU). Routing. Error detection. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

IP Datagram 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte 1 byte VERS HL Service Fragment Length Datagram ID FLAG Fragment Offset TTL Protocol Header Checksum Source Address Destination Address Options (if any) Data Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

IP Datagram Fragmentation Each fragment (packet) has the same structure as the IP datagram. IP specifies that datagram reassembly is done only at the destination (not on a hop-by-hop basis). If any of the fragments are lost - the entire datagram is discarded (and an ICMP message is sent to the sender). Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

IP Flow Control & Error Detection If packets arrive too fast - the receiver discards excessive packets and sends an ICMP message to the sender (SOURCE QUENCH). If an error is found (header checksum problem) the packet is discarded and an ICMP message is sent to the sender. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol ICMP is a protocol used for exchanging control messages. ICMP uses IP to deliver messages. ICMP messages are usually generated and processed by the IP software, not the user process. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

ICMP Message Types Echo Request Echo Response Destination Unreachable Redirect Time Exceeded Redirect (route change) there are more . Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

IP/BYE-BYE IP/BYE-BYE is a lecture protocol used to signal the class that we have just finished our discussion of IP - the network layer of UDP/IP and TCP/IP. The appropriate response to an IP/BYEBYE request is immediate applause, although simply opening your eyes is enough (known as a WAKEUP response). Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

UDP User Datagram Protocol UDP is a transport-layer protocol communication between processes UDP uses IP to deliver datagrams to the right host. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 3

Ports UDP/IP uses an abstract destination point called a protocol port. Ports are identified by a positive integer. Operating systems provide some mechanism that processes use to specify a port. Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 4

TCP Transmission Control Protocol TCP is an alternative transport layer protocol supported by TCP/IP. TCP provides: Connection-oriented Reliable Full-duplex Byte-Stream Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 4

TCP vs. UDP Q: Which protocol is better ? A: It depends on the application. TCP provides a connection-oriented, reliable byte stream service (lots of overhead). UDP offers minimal datagram delivery service (as little overhead as possible). Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 4

Hmmmmm. TCP or UDP ? Internet commerce ? Video server? File transfer? Email ? Chat groups? Robotic surgery controlled remotely over a network? Netprog 2002 TCP/IP 4
