RIP, OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) companion protocols (2) Multicast Routing Protocols Maintaining Multicast Routing Table E.g. DVMRP, MOSPF, CBT, PIM Exterior Routing Protocols (Inter- AS) E.g. BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) Quality-of-Service Frameworks Integrated Service (ISA, IntServ) Differentiated Service (DiffServ) Why? Address space exhaustion New types of service Multicast Quality of Service Security Mobility (M) Header and format limitations

3 Advantages of over Header: from to Larger address space Better header format New options Allowance for extension Support for resource allocation Support for more security Support for mobility Changed Removed Header Format Traffic Class The 8-bit field in the header is available for use by originating nodes and/or forwarding routers to identify and distinguish between different classes or priorities of packets. E.g., used as the codepoint in DiffServ General requirements Service interface must provide means for upper-layer protocol to supply the value of traffic class Value of traffic class can be changed by source, forwarder, receiver An upper-layer protocol should not assume the value of traffic class in a packet has not been changed.

4 Flow Label Related sequence of packets Needing special handling Identified by src & dest addr + flow label Router treats flow as sharing attributes E.g. path, resource allocation, discard requirements, accounting, security May treat flows differently Buffer sizes, different forwarding precedence, different quality of service Alternative to including all info. in every header Payload Length 16-bit unsigned integer. Length of the payload, i.e., the rest of the packet following this header, in octets. Note that any extension headers present are considered part of the payload, i.e., included in the length count.

11 Tunneling Definition: carry an IP packet as payload inside an IP packet in packets (and vice versa) In an IPV4 packet, Protocol = 41 means the payload is an packet In principle, a tunnel needs to be configured, the encapsulator must be configured with the address of the decapsulator Works only for isolated cases IP4/6 Router Island Header Payload A Network Header da = Header Payload IP4/6 Router B Island Header Payload 45 Addresses Introduced to support automatic tunnels, i.e. without configuration of encapsulator/decapsulator pairs Definition: address To any valid address n we associate the prefix 2002:n / 48 example: the address prefix that corresponds to is 2002: 80b2:9c26 An address that starts with 2002: is called a address The bits 17 to 48 of a address are the corresponding address 2002::/16 is the prefix reserved for addresses A host or router is one that is dual stack and uses as address In addition, the address is reserved for use in the context of addresses (see next slides) Example of Use: Isolated Hosts host A Network Relay router R host B Network host C FEDC:BA98::7654:3210 back A s address is ; its address is 2002:0102:0304:0:EUI A where EUI is A s 64-bit MAC address B s address is ; its address is 2002:0908:0706:0:EUI B where EUI is B s 64-bit MAC address A sends packet to B s address Dest addr is, therefore A encapsulates, with decapsulator s address = that of B Packet sent as source = ; dest = ; protocol = source = 2002:0102:0304:0:EUI A dest =2002:0908:0706:0:EUI B Addresses Simplify Address Allocation Normally, an address is Provider allocated prefix + subnet + host part If your network is connected to the, you receive a provider allocated prefix Else, you use the address of an address given to you by your provider host A 2002:0102:0304: 00AB:EUI S Local Network :0102:0304: ABCD:EUI A router S Relay router R host B host C 2001:BA98::7654:3210

12 Relay Router and the Anycast Address R is a relay router : has interfaces and is both on the and internets All of R s interfaces on the internet have an address plus the address This is a reserved anycast address. It is a normal address, but there can be several machines with this same address, as there are several relay routers on the. host A 2002:0102:0304: 00AB:EUI S Local Network :0102:0304: ABCD:EUI A router S Relay router R host B host C 2001:BA98::7654:3210 host A Example Relay router R host B host C 2001:BA98::7654:3210 A sends packet to C C s address does not have same prefix as A ( destination not on link ), so A sends to a router R is a relay router A s default router entry is R; more precisely, it is 2002:c058:6301::0, which is a address corresponding to A builds an automatic tunnel with decapsulator = R host A 2002:0102:0304: :00AB:EUI S Local Network :0102:0304 : :ABCD:EUI A router S Local Network Relay router R host B A has packet to send to C host C 2001:0620:0: :00AB:EUIS12 Destination not on link, send to router in local router Default route inside local network is 2002:0102:0304::, i.e. the address of interface 1 of router S S builds a tunnel with decapsulator = relay router R Rest as before, i.e. S s default router entry is R; more precisely, it is 2002:c058:6301::0, which is a address corresponding to L.
