1 Routing Algorithms

2 Main issue is how the routers that constitute the network layer of a network cooperate to find the best routes between all pairs of stations. Routing algorithm at a router decides which output line an incoming packet should go, i.e. making a routing decision. McGraw-Hill Classified The McGraw-Hill e-material Companies, Inc.,

4 Adaptive Algorithm (Dynamic Routing) change their routing decisions (based on factors) to reflect changes in the topology Non Adaptive Algorithm (Static Routing) choice of the route to use to get from source I to destination J (for all I and J) is computed in advance, off-line, and downloaded to the routers when the network is booted McGraw-Hill Classified The McGraw-Hill e-material Companies, Inc.,

6 Each router periodically shares its knowledge about the entire network with its neighbors. Three key steps: 1. Knowledge about the whole network. 2. Routing only to neighbors. 3. Information sharing at regular intervals.

8 The Concept of Distance Vector Routing

9 Distance Vector Routing Table In Distance vector routing, each router periodically shares its knowledge about the entire network with its neighbors.

11 Final Routing Tables

12 Each router shares its knowledge of its neighborhood with every other router in the internetwork. Three key steps: 1. Knowledge about the neighborhood. 2. To all Routers. 3. Information sharing when there is a change.

31 Routing Table for Router A

32 Internet growth translates into Routing table growth. In Hierarchical Routing, the routers are divided into regions. Each router knowing all the details about its own region, but knowing nothing about the internal structure of other regions. Routing Procedure: Route first to the Region Then network within the Region Then particular node within the network

36 Broadcast Send same packet to all receivers. all usually limited in some way LAN, subnet, organization

37 Sending a packet to all destinations simultaneously is called Broadcasting. Direct Method: Source sends a distinct packet to each destination routers in the subnet: 1. Wasteful of the bandwidth. 2. It requires source to have a list of all destinations. Flooding: Ordinarily ill suited for point-to-point communication: Generates to many packets, and Consumes to much bandwidth. McGraw-Hill Veton Këpuska April The 26, McGraw-Hill 2014 Companies, Inc.,

38 Multi-destination Routing Each packets contains: A list of destinations, or A bit map indicating the desired destinations. When packet arrives at a router: The router checks all the destinations to determine the set of output lines that will be needed. Generates a new copy of the packed for each output line to be used and includes in each packet only those destinations that are to use the line. After a sufficient number of hops, each packed will carry only one destination and can be treated as normal packet. Multi-destination routing is like separately addressed packets, except that when several packets must follow the same route, one of them pays full fare and the rest ride free.

39 Spanning Tree: It is a subset of the subnet that includes all routers but contains no loops. Each router knows which of its lines belong to the spanning tree, it can copy an incoming broadcast packet onto all the spanning tree lines except the one it arrived on. Makes excellent use of bandwidth (generates absolute minimum number of packets necessary to do the job) Must have knowledge of some spanning tree for the method to be applicable. Information available in some instances (e.g., link state routing) Information not available (e.g., distance vector routing) McGraw-Hill Veton Këpuska April The 26, McGraw-Hill 2014 Companies, Inc.,

40 Reverse Path Forwarding: Router checks if the broadcast packet arrived on the line that is normally used for sending packets to the source of the broadcast. If so, there is excellent chance that the broadcast packet itself followed the best route from the router and is therefore the first copy to arrive at the router. The router forwards copies of it onto all lines except the one it arrived on. If the broadcast packet arrived on a line other than the preferred one for reaching the source, the packet is discarded as a likely duplicate.
