- Link state routing protocols
What is Internetworking?
- Internetworking connects two or more networks to create a larger network.
- Interconnected networks can vary in size (e.g., LANs, WANs, campus networks).
- Interconnection of IP networks occurs at Layer 3 using routers.
- The Internet is the most significant example, connecting millions of smaller networks globally.
- The Internet is not owned by any individual or group.
- Related terms include intranet and extranet.
Intranet and Extranet
- Intranet: A private network (LAN or WAN) belonging to a single organization.
- Access is limited to authorized members (employees, etc.).
- Extranet: Allows secure access to individuals outside the organization, who need access to the organization's data. Contractors, suppliers, or other organizations may also have access to the extranet.
Levels of Access
- Intranet access is restricted to organization members or authorized users.
- Extranet access is provided to authorized individuals from different organizations.
- Internet access is unrestricted and open to the public.
Routing
- A router interconnects two or more networks at Layer 3.
- In examples, a router might connect two networks: 111.111.111.0/24 and 222.222.222.0/24.
- Hosts (A and B) cannot directly communicate; communication passes through the router (R).
- A router forwards an IP datagram from host A to host B.
Routing to Another Subnet: Addressing
- A creates an IP datagram with IP source A, destination B.
- A creates a link-layer frame for the IP datagram.
- R's MAC address is the destination of the frame.
- R receives the frame, extracts the IP datagram, and passes it to the IP layer.
- R determines the outgoing interface to send the datagram from A to B.
- R creates a link-layer frame with A-to-B datagram and B's MAC address as destination.
- B receives the frame, extracts the IP datagram, and passes it to the IP protocol stack.
Routing Table
- In simple scenarios, routing a datagram is straightforward if the destination is on a directly connected network.
- A router uses a routing table to determine the best path to forward a datagram.
- Routing tables are necessary for hosts and routers to function.
- Routing tables contain columns like Destination, Next Hop, and Interface.
Routing Tables (Host A, Router R1)
- Routing tables at different points in a network show how to reach different destinations.
- The tables list the destination network, next hop, and interface.
Routing at R1
- R1, like other routers, has a routing table to guide datagram forwarding.
- It determines the best path based on the destination IP address and the routing table.
- R1 directs datagrams towards the network and destination of the destination IP address by using the routing table.
Routing Process at a Router
- Compare destination IP address to all entries in routing table.
- Choose the entry that results in the longest prefix match with the destination IP address.
- Match based on the first bits, and the longest matching prefix is chosen.
Longest Prefix Match - Examples
- Determine which route entry best matches the destination IP addresses using the example routing table.
Static vs. Dynamic Routing
- Static routing: Manual configuration of routing table entries by an administrator.
- Suitable for small networks.
- Dynamic routing: Routers exchange routing information, automatically updating routing tables.
- Suitable for more complex networks.
Dynamic Routing Protocols
- Characteristics:
- Routing information exchange methods.
- Routers exchange information with each other using routing protocols.
- Protocol types: Distance vector (e.g., RIP) and Link State (e.g., OSPF) protocols exist.
- Frequency of exchange is needed to keep the routing table current.
- Routing protocols vary by how often they exchange information.
Autonomous Systems
- Group of networks, controlled by a single entity.
- Connected to other networks via gateways.
- Interior Gateway Protocols (IGPs): Routing protocols for within an autonomous system. Examples include RIP, OSPF, etc.
- Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs): Establish routing communication between autonomous systems to exchange routing information. Examples include BGP, etc.
Distance Vector Protocols
- Each router tells its neighbors the shortest distance to all known networks.
- Simple to implement but can have slow convergence due to the iterative process and issues with count to infinity.
Link State Protocols
- Each router broadcasts its link state to all other routers.
- The network's topological structure is created by collecting the link state information.
- This database is necessary for calculating the shortest path to any destination network and is more efficient for large networks.
- This is more complex to implement than distance vector protocols, but it is more efficient.
Exercises
- Determine the routing tables at R2 and R3.
- Determine the link state routing information shared by R2 and R3 with other routers.
Lesson Summary
- Intranet, Extranet, and Internet concepts.
- Routing process, routing tables, and longest prefix match methodology.
- Static and dynamic routing mechanisms and differences.
- Autonomous systems and routing protocol architectures.
- Distance vector and link state protocols.
