3 Hierarchical Routing aggregate routers into regions, autonomous systems (AS) routers in same AS run same routing protocol intra-as routing protocol routers in different AS can run different intra-as routing protocol gateway routers special routers in AS run intra-as routing protocol with all other routers in AS also responsible for routing to destinations outside AS run inter-as routing protocol with other gateway routers 3

4 Internet s Area Hierarchy What is an Autonomous System (AS)? A set of routers under a single technical administration, using Intra-AS routing protocols (e.g., RIP, OSPF) and common metrics to route packets within the AS and using an Inter-AS routing protocol to route packets to other AS s Each AS assigned unique ID 4

5 Intra-AS and Inter-AS routing a C Host1 C.b b d A A.a a b BGP A.c c Intra-AS routing within AS A ( RIP, OSPF, ) B.a a B c b Host2 Intra-AS routing within AS B ( RIP, OSPF, ) 5

6 AS Categories Stub: an AS that has only a single connection to one other AS - carries only local traffic. Multi-homed: an AS that has connections to more than one AS, but does not carry transit traffic Transit: an AS that has connections to more than one AS, and carries both transit and local traffic (under certain policy restrictions) 6

7 AS Categories AS1 AS1 AS3 AS2 AS1 AS3 AS2 Transit Stub AS2 Multi-homed 7

8 Internet inter-as routing: BGP BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): the de facto standard BGP is a Path Vector protocol: similar to Distance Vector protocol each Border Gateway broadcast to neighbors (peers) entire path (i.e., sequence of AS s) to destination BGP routes to networks (ASs), not individual hosts E.g., Gateway X may send its path to dest. Z: Path (X,Z) = X,Y1,Y2,Y3,,Z 8

9 Internet inter-as routing: BGP Suppose: gateway X send its path to peer gateway W W may or may not select path offered by X cost, policy (don t route via competitors AS), loop prevention reasons. If W selects path advertised by X, then: Path (W,Z) = W, Path (X,Z) Note: X can control incoming traffic by controlling its route advertisements to peers: e.g., don t want to route traffic to Z -> don t advertise any routes to Z 9

10 BGP: controlling who routes to you W A B C X provider network customer network Y A,B,C are provider networks X,W,Y are customer (of provider networks) X is dual-homed: attached to two networks X does not want to route from B via X to C.. so X will not advertise to B a route to C 10

11 BGP operation Q: What does a BGP router do? Receiving and filtering route advertisements from directly attached neighbor(s). Route selection. To route to destination X, which path (of several advertised) will be taken? Sending route advertisements to neighbors. 11

12 Initial routing tables in path vector routing 12

13 Stabilized tables for four autonomous systems 13

14 BGP messages 14

15 BGP messages OPEN: opens TCP connection to peer and authenticates sender UPDATE: advertises new path (or withdraws old) KEEPALIVE keeps connection alive in absence of UPDATES; also ACKs OPEN request (send periodically, every 30 seconds) NOTIFICATION: reports errors in previous msg; also used to close connection 15

16 Policy with BGP BGP provides capability for enforcing various policies Policies are not part of BGP: they are provided to BGP as configuration information BGP enforces policies by choosing paths from multiple alternatives and controlling advertisement to other AS s 16

17 Examples of BGP Policies A multi-homed AS refuses to act as transit Limit path advertisement A multi-homed AS can become transit for some AS s Only advertise paths to some AS s An AS can favor or disfavor certain AS s for traffic transit from itself 17

18 I-BGP and E-BGP External BGP (E-BGP): BGP runs between different ASs Internal BGP (I-BGP): BGP runs between two peers in the same AS AS1 R1 R3 E-BGP R4 AS2 R2 I-BGP 18

19 AS-Path Sequence of AS s a route traverses Used for loop detection and to apply policy AS /16 AS /16 AS-2 AS /16 AS /16 AS-2 AS-3 AS /16 AS-2 AS /16 AS-2 AS-5 19

20 BGP Operations (Simplified) Establish session on TCP port 179 AS1 Exchange all active routes BGP session AS2 Exchange incremental updates While connection is ALIVE exchange route UPDATE messages 20

21 Example: Multiple AS Paths AS /16 AS 701 AS / AS / AS

22 Shorter Doesn t Always Mean Shorter Path 4 1 is better than path AS 3 AS 4 AS 2 AS 1 22
