CSMA/CD CSMA/CD Let everyone have access whenever they want and we will work it out somehow. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 11

CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Mul+ple Access/Collision Detec+on 1. Listen for transmission ( carrier ). 2. If no transmission is sensed, transmit data immediately. 3. Monitor channel for collision. Sta<ons sense the collision by being unable to deliver the en<re frame. (This is why there are minimum frame lengths, cable distance and speed limita<ons. This includes the 5-4-3 rule.) 4. If collision detected, transmit a jamming signal. 5. Back off a random, exponen<ally increasing amount of <me. 6. Go back to Step 1. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 12

CSMA/CD - Minimum Frame Size For CSMA/CD to work, sending sta<on must detect collision before sending last bit in frame Minimum transmission <me must be twice maximum propaga<on <me. Minimum Ethernet frame size (called slot +me): 512 bits (64 bytes) Slot <me determines (and is determined by) the maximum LAN size. Slot <me is minimum frame size such that, if Sta<ons R and S are at the maximum distance from each other allowed in the LAN Sta<on S starts to send a frame. Sta<on R starts to send frame just before the first bit of S s frame arrives. S is able to detect R s transmission just before it s transmission completes Slot Time S R Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 13

CSMA/CD Slot Time For Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, 512 bits is 2800m @ 10Mbps 205m @ 100Mbps (10baseT cabling limit is 100m) Aker 512bits sender assumes no collision Minimum payload of 46bytes (368bits) 512 48 (Src) 48 (Dst) 16 (Type) 32 (FCS) Why maximum frame size?

Collision Domain Collision Domain: a set of ports interconnected at the physical layer (are a part of the same signal <ming domain ). Simultaneous transmissions will result in a collision. Bandwidth is shared by all sta<ons in the domain. Transmission is half-duplex. Wikipedia: A logical network segment where data packets can "collide" with one another for being sent on a shared medium.

Repeaters Repeaters are Layer 1 devices used to combat agenua<on. They do NOT look at Layer 2 (MAC, Ethernet) or Layer 3 (IP) addresses. CSMA/CD. Repeaters: take in weakened signals clean them up or regenerate them send them on their way along the network Repeaters Increase the distance a LAN can reach Introduce delay Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 21

5/4/3 Rule Enforce slot <me limit on Ethernet subnet in presence of repeaters. The rule mandates that between any two nodes on the network, there can only be a maximum of five segments, connected through four repeaters, or concentrators, and only three of the five segments may contain user connec+ons. Webopedia.com Alterna<vely, specified algorithms for custom network configura<ons Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 22

5/4/3 Rule Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 implement a rule, known as the 5-4-3 rule, for the number of repeaters and segments on shared access Ethernet backbones in a tree topology. The 5-4-3 rule divides the network into two types of physical segments: populated (user) segments, and unpopulated (link) segments. User segments have users' systems connected to them. Link segments are used to connect the network's repeaters together. The rule mandates that between any two nodes on the network, there can only be a maximum of five segments, connected through four repeaters, or concentrators, and only three of the five segments may contain user connec<ons. The Ethernet protocol requires that a signal sent out over the LAN reach every part of the network within a specified length of?me. The 5-4-3 rule ensures this. Each repeater that a signal goes through adds a small amount of?me to the process, so the rule is designed to minimize transmission?mes of the signals. The 5-4-3 rule -- which was created when Ethernet, 10Base5, and 10Base2 were the only types of Ethernet network available -- only applies to shared-access Ethernet backbones. A switched Ethernet network should be exempt from the 5-4-3 rule because each switch has a buffer to temporarily store data and all nodes can access a switched Ethernet LAN simultaneously.

Hubs Hub is a repeater with more than 2 ports. Layer 1 device. Signals receved on one port are regenerated and sent out all other. CSMA/CD. Hubs were also called Ethernet concentrators Mul<port repeaters Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 24

Original Ethernet Par<al Solu<on Problem: only one sta<on can transmit at a <me. Solu<on: Buffering and selec+ve forwarding Introduce a device that Buffers frames Only forwards on interfaces it needs to More efficient use of bandwidth Allows simultaneous transmissions Splits a collision domain Called a bridge Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 30

Bridges A bridge is a Layer 2 device Collects frames. Selec<vely forwards frames through the network. CSMA/CD on each interface Bridges implement selec<ve forwarding by Learning the MAC address of all devices on connected segments. Builds a bridging table and forwards frames based on this table. Called address learning Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 31

Address Learning: Learn Source Address Source Address Table Port Source MAC Add. 1 1111 Port Source MAC Add. 3333 1111 bridge A bridge has a source address table (or MAC Address Table) in cache (RAM) where it stores a source MAC address aker it learns about them. 1111 Abbreviated MAC addresses 3333 How does it learn source MAC addresses? When a frame enters a bridge, the switch first checks if the source address (1111) is in it s source address table. If it is, it resets the +mer. If it is NOT in the table it adds it, with the port number. 2222 4444 Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 32

Address Learning: Filter or Flood Source Address Table Port Source MAC Add. 1 1111 Port Source MAC Add. 3333 1111 bridge The bridge then examines the source address table for the des+na+on MAC address. 1111 Abbreviated MAC addresses 3333 If it finds a match, it forwards the frame by only sending it out that port. If there is not a match if floods it out all ports. In this scenario, the bridge will flood the frame out all other ports, because the des<na<on address is not in the source address table. 2222 4444 Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 33

The bridge sees if it has the source address stored. It does NOT so it adds it. Next, it checks the des+na+on address and in our case it can forward the frame, by sending it only out port 1. Future traffic between 1111 and 3333 is forwarded on correct port. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 34

Port Source MAC Add. 1 1111 6 3333 3333 1111 3333 4444 bridge Unlike a hub, a collision does NOT occur, which would cause the two PCs to have to retransmit the frames.

Address Learning Parameters Source Address Table Port Source MAC Add. bridge Port Source MAC Add. 1 1111 6 3333 9 4444 How long are addresses kept in the Source Address Table? 5 minutes is common on most vendor switches. How many addresses can be kept in the table? Depends on the size of the cache, but 1,024 addresses is common. 1111 Abbreviated MAC addresses 3333 What about Layer 2 broadcasts? Layer 2 broadcasts (DA = all 1 s) and mul<casts are flooded out all ports. 2222 4444 Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 36

Receive Packet Transparent Bridge Process - Jeff Doyle Learn source address or refresh aging <mer Is the des<na<on a broadcast, mul<cast or unknown unicast? No Yes Flood Packet Are the source and des<na<on on the same interface? No Yes Filter Packet Forward unicast to correct port Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 37

Review Address Learning Purpose is to avoid the need to flood packets, thereby par<<oning collision domains Remember source of frames seen on a port MAC Address Table or Source Address Table On receipt of a frame Always flood broadcast and mul<cast If des<na<on previously seen as source on a port, use that port Otherwise flood What happens if host moves?

Broadcast Domain Broadcast Domain: a set of ports interconnected at the link layer. A broadcast will reach all sta<ons in the domain. Equivalent to (defines) a subnet in the Internet Architecture. Wikipedia: a logical division of a computer network, in which all nodes can reach each other by broadcast at the data link layer. Without bridges, broadcast domain = collision domain Bridges segment collision domains! Don t forward collision signals. Bridges do not restrict broadcast or mul<cast traffic. Therefore broadcast domains are not affected. Result is fewer collisions and therefore improved bandwidth u<liza<on. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 39

Broadcast Domain Bridges allow a broadcast domain to be segmented into many collision domains; however shared collision domains (CSMA/CD) are limited to at most 50-60% u<liza<on of the channel Elimina<on of shared collision domains enables 100% channel u<liza<on. To eliminate CSMA/CD requires elimina<ng the sharing of a medium Accomplish this by moving from half-duplex to full-duplex communica+on Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 40

Half-Duplex In half-duplex transmission only one end can send at a <me. CSMA/CD transmissions are, by defini<on, half-duplex. All ports in a collision domain must be in half-duplex mode Original Ethernet is half-duplex. Half-duplex Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 44

Full-Duplex In full-duplex transmission both ends can send simultaneously. CSMA/CD is not needed for full-duplex transmission. Full-duplex Ethernet specified in IEEE 802.3x in March 1997 Original (half-duplex) Ethernet usually can only use 50%-60% of the available 10 Mbps of bandwidth due to collisions. Full-duplex Ethernet offers 100% of the bandwidth in both direc<ons. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 45

Full-Duplex Ethernet IEEE 802.3x full-duplex standard requires: The medium must have independent transmit and receive data paths that can operate simultaneously. There are exactly two sta+ons connected w/ a full-duplex point-to-point link. There is no CSMA/CD mul<ple access algorithm, since there is no conten<on for a shared medium. Both sta<ons on the LAN are capable of, and have been configured to use, the full-duplex mode of opera<on. Handling carrier detec<on and collision detect In half-duplex a sta<on will not transmit if carrier is detected, and will abort if a collision is detected. In full-duplex a sta<on ignores the carrier sense and collision detect signals. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 46

Cut-through Switching Store-and-forward The en<re frame is received before any forwarding takes place. CRC Check done Cut-through The frame is forwarded before the en<re frame is received. Decreases the latency of the transmission, but also reduces error detec<on. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 51

Cut-through Switching Cut-through Fast-forward Offers the lowest level of latency. Fast-forward switching immediately forwards a packet aker reading the des<na<on address. There may be <mes when packets are relayed with errors. Although this occurs infrequently and the des<na<on network adapter will discard the faulty packet upon receipt. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 52

Cut-through Switching Cut-through Fragment-free Fragment-free switching filters out collision fragments before forwarding begins. Collision fragments are the majority of packet errors. Collision fragments must be smaller than 64 bytes (512 bits slot <me). Greater than 64 bytes is a valid packet and is usually received without error. Fragment-free switching confirms not a collision fragment before forwarding. Spring 2017 CE 151 - Advanced Networks 53
