JFK/KWR 8th edition All material copyright 1996-2020 Jim Kurose, Keith Ross J.F Kurose and K.W. Ross, All Rights Reserved Pearson, 2020 Link layer and LANs: our goals understand principles instantiation, implementation behind link layer services: of various link layer error detection, correction technologies sharing a broadcast channel: multiple access link layer addressing local area networks: Ethernet, VLANs datacenter networks Link Layer: 6-2 Link layer, LANs: roadmap introduction error detection, correction multiple access protocols LANs addressing, ARP Ethernet switches VLANs a day in the life of a web link virtualization: MPLS request data center networking Link Layer: 6-3 Link layer: introduction terminology: mobile network hosts and routers: nodes national or global ISP communication channels that connect adjacent nodes along communication path: links wired wireless LANs layer-2 packet: frame, datacenter encapsulates datagram network link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node enterprise network to physically adjacent node over a link Link Layer: 6-4 Link layer: context datagram transferred by transportation analogy: different link protocols over trip from Princeton to Lausanne different links: limo: Princeton to JFK e.g., WiFi on first link, Ethernet plane: JFK to Geneva on next link train: Geneva to Lausanne each link protocol provides tourist = datagram different services transport segment = e.g., may or may not provide communication link reliable data transfer over link transportation mode = link-layer protocol travel agent = routing algorithm Link Layer: 6-5 Link layer: services framing, link access: … encapsulate datagram into frame, adding … header, trailer channel access if shared medium “MAC” addresses in frame headers identify source, destination (different from IP address!) reliable delivery between adjacent nodes we already know how to do this! seldom used on low bit-error links wireless links: high error rates Q: why both link-level and end-end reliability? Link Layer: 6-6 Link layer: services (more) flow control: … pacing between adjacent sending and … receiving nodes error detection: errors caused by signal attenuation, noise. receiver detects errors, signals retransmission, or drops frame error correction: receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without retransmission half-duplex and full-duplex: with half duplex, nodes at both ends of link can transmit, but not at same time Link Layer: 6-7 Where is the link layer implemented? in each-and-every host link layer implemented in network interface card (NIC) or on a chip application transport cpu memory Ethernet, WiFi card or chip network link implements link, physical layer host bus (e.g., PCI) attaches into host’s system link physical controller buses physical combination of hardware, network interface software, firmware Link Layer: 6-8 Interfaces communicating application application transport transport cpu memory memory CPU datagram network network link link linkh datagram controller controller datagram link link physical physical physical physical sending side: receiving side: encapsulates datagram in frame looks for errors, reliable data adds error checking bits, reliable data transfer, flow control, etc. transfer, flow control, etc. extracts datagram, passes to upper layer at receiving side Link Layer: 6-9 Link layer, LANs: roadmap introduction error detection, correction multiple access protocols LANs addressing, ARP Ethernet switches VLANs a day in the life of a web link virtualization: MPLS request data center networking Link Layer: 6-10 Error detection EDC: error detection and correction bits (e.g., redundancy) D: data protected by error checking, may include header fields datagram datagram Error detection not 100% otherwise reliable! all bits in D’ N protocol may miss OK detected some errors, but rarely ? error d data bits larger EDC field yields D EDC D’ EDC’ better detection and correction bit-error prone link Link Layer: 6-11 Parity checking single bit parity: two-dimensional bit parity: detect single bit errors detect and correct single bit errors row parity 0111000110101011 1 d1,1... d1,j d1,j+1 d data bits d2,1... d2,j d2,j+1 parity............ bit di,1... di,j di,j+1 column parity di+1,1... Even parity: set parity di+1,j di+1,j+1 bit so there is an even number of 1’s no errors: 1 0 1 0 1 1 detected 10101 1 11110 0 and 10110 0 parity error correctable 01110 1 single-bit 01110 1 10101 0 error: 10101 0 * Check out the online interactive exercises for more parity error examples: http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive/ Link Layer: 6-12 Internet checksum (review) Goal: detect errors (i.e., flipped bits) in transmitted segment sender: receiver: treat contents of UDP compute checksum of received segment (including UDP header segment fields and IP addresses) as sequence of 16-bit integers check if computed checksum equals checksum: addition (one’s checksum field value: complement sum) of segment not equal - error detected content equal - no error detected. But maybe checksum value put into errors nonetheless? More later …. UDP checksum field Transport Layer: 3-13 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) more powerful error-detection coding D: data bits (given, think of these as a binary number) G: bit pattern (generator), of r+1 bits (given) r CRC bits d data bits D R bit pattern = D *2r XOR R formula for bit pattern goal: choose r CRC bits, R, such that exactly divisible by G (mod 2) receiver knows G, divides by G. If non-zero remainder: error detected! can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits widely used in practice (Ethernet, 802.11 WiFi) Link Layer: 6-14 Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC): example We want: G 1 0 1 0 1 1 D.2r XOR R = nG 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 1 00 0 0 or equivalently: 1 0 0 1 D.2r = nG XOR R 1 0 1 D* 2r 0 0 0 or equivalently: 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 if we divide D.2r by G, want 1 1 0 remainder R to satisfy: 0 0 0 D.2r 1 1 0 0 R = remainder [ ] 1 0 0 1 G 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 R * Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples: http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive/ Link Layer: 6-15 CRC properties Standard generators of 8,12,16 and 32 bits were defined For instance, the CRC32 for several data link protocols is: GCRC-32 =100000100110000010001110110110111 CRC can detect: burst of error less than r+1 bits all odd numbers of bit errors Link Layer: 6-16 Link layer, LANs: roadmap introduction error detection, correction multiple access protocols LANs addressing, ARP Ethernet switches VLANs a day in the life of a web link virtualization: MPLS request data center networking Link Layer: 6-17 Multiple access links, protocols two types of “links”: point-to-point point-to-point link between Ethernet switch, host PPP for dial-up access broadcast (shared wire or medium) old-fashioned Ethernet upstream HFC in cable-based access network 802.11 wireless LAN, 4G/5G. satellite shared wire (e.g., humans at a cocktail party cabled Ethernet) shared radio: 4G/5G shared radio: WiFi shared radio: satellite (shared air, acoustical) Link Layer: 6-18 Multiple access protocols single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes: interference collision if node receives two or more signals at the same time multiple access protocol distributed algorithm that determines how nodes share channel, i.e., determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel itself! no out-of-band channel for coordination Link Layer: 6-19 An ideal multiple access protocol given: multiple access channel (MAC) of rate R bps desiderata: 1. when one node wants to transmit, it can send at rate R. 2. when M nodes want to transmit, each can send at average rate R/M 3. fully decentralized: no special node to coordinate transmissions no synchronization of clocks, slots 4. simple Link Layer: 6-20 MAC protocols: taxonomy three broad classes: channel partitioning divide channel into smaller “pieces” (time slots, frequency, code) allocate piece to node for exclusive use random access channel not divided, allow collisions “recover” from collisions “taking turns” nodes take turns, but nodes with more to send can take longer turns Link Layer: 6-21 Channel partitioning MAC protocols: TDMA TDMA: time division multiple access access to channel in “rounds” each station gets fixed length slot (length = packet transmission time) in each round unused slots go idle example: 6-station LAN, 1,3,4 have packets to send, slots 2,5,6 idle 6-slot 6-slot frame frame 1 3 4 1 3 4 Link Layer: 6-22 Channel partitioning MAC protocols: FDMA FDMA: frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example: 6-station LAN, 1,3,4 have packet to send, frequency bands 2,5,6 idle frequency bands FDM cable Link Layer: 6-23 Random access protocols when node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R. no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes: “collision” random access MAC protocol specifies: how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (e.g., via delayed retransmissions) examples of random access MAC protocols: ALOHA, slotted ALOHA CSMA, CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA Link Layer: 6-24 Slotted ALOHA assumptions: operation: all frames same size when node obtains fresh time divided into equal size frame, transmits in next slot slots (time to transmit 1 frame) if no collision: node can send nodes start to transmit only new frame in next slot slot beginning if collision: node retransmits nodes are synchronized frame in each subsequent if 2 or more nodes transmit in slot with probability p until slot, all nodes detect collision success randomization – why? Link Layer: 6-25 Slotted ALOHA node 1 1 1 1 1 node 2 2 2 2 C: collision S: success node 3 3 3 3 E: empty C E C S E C E S S Pros: Cons: single active node can collisions, wasting slots continuously transmit at full rate idle slots of channel nodes may be able to detect collision in highly decentralized: only slots in less than time to transmit packet nodes need to be in sync simple clock synchronization Link Layer: 6-26 Slotted ALOHA: efficiency efficiency: long-run fraction of successful slots (many nodes, all with many frames to send) suppose: N nodes with many frames to send, each transmits in slot with probability p prob that given node has success in a slot = p(1-p)N-1 prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1 max efficiency: find p* that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1 for many nodes, take limit of Np*(1-p*)N-1 as N goes to infinity, gives: max efficiency = 1/e =.37 at best: channel used for useful transmissions 37% of time! Link Layer: 6-27 Pure ALOHA unslotted Aloha: simpler, no synchronization when frame first arrives: transmit immediately If collision, retransmit at the end of the frame, with probability P collision probability increases with no synchronization: frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1,t0+1] will overlap will overlap with start of with end of i’s frame i’s frame t0 - 1 t0 t0 + 1 pure Aloha efficiency: 18% ! Link Layer: 6-28 CSMA (carrier sense multiple access) simple CSMA: listen before transmit: if channel sensed idle: transmit entire frame if channel sensed busy: defer transmission human analogy: don’t interrupt others! CSMA/CD: CSMA with collision detection collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted, reducing channel wastage collision detection easy in wired, difficult with wireless human analogy: the polite conversationalist Link Layer: 6-29 CSMA: collisions spatial layout of nodes collisions can still occur with carrier sensing: propagation delay means two nodes may not hear each other’s just- started transmission collision: entire packet transmission time wasted distance & propagation delay play role in in determining collision probability Link Layer: 6-30 CSMA/CD (collision detection) CSMA/CD: carrier sensing, deferral as in CSMA collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted, reducing channel wastage collision detection: easy in wired LANs: measure signal strengths, compare transmitted, received signals difficult in wireless LANs: received signal strength overwhelmed by local transmission strength human analogy: the polite conversationalist Link Layer: 6-31 CSMA/CD: spatial layout of nodes CSMA/CS reduces the amount of time wasted in collisions transmission aborted on collision detection Link Layer: 6-32 Ethernet CSMA/CD algorithm 1. NIC receives datagram from network layer, creates frame 2. NIC senses channel: if idle: start frame transmission. if busy: wait until channel idle, then transmit 3. If NIC transmits entire frame without collision, NIC is done with frame ! 4. If NIC detects another transmission while sending: abort, send jam signal 5. After aborting, NIC enters binary (exponential) backoff: after mth collision, NIC chooses K at random from {0,1,2, …, 2m-1}. NIC waits K·512 bit times, returns to Step 2 more collisions: longer backoff interval Link Layer: 6-33 CSMA/CD efficiency Tprop = max prop delay between 2 nodes in LAN ttrans = time to transmit max-size frame 1 efficiency 1 5t prop /ttrans efficiency goes to 1 as tprop goes to 0 as ttrans goes to infinity better performance than ALOHA: and simple, cheap, decentralized! Link Layer: 6-34 “Taking turns” MAC protocols channel partitioning MAC protocols: share channel efficiently and fairly at high load inefficient at low load: delay in channel access, 1/N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node! random access MAC protocols efficient at low load: single node can fully utilize channel high load: collision overhead “taking turns” protocols look for best of both worlds! Link Layer: 6-35 “Taking turns” MAC protocols polling: master node “invites” other nodes to transmit in turn data poll typically used with “dumb” devices master concerns: data polling overhead latency slaves single point of failure (master) Link Layer: 6-36 “Taking turns” MAC protocols T token passing: control token passed from one node to next sequentially. (nothing token message to send) concerns: T token overhead latency single point of failure (token) data Link Layer: 6-37 Cable access network: FDM, TDM and random access! Internet frames, TV channels, control transmitted downstream at different frequencies cable headend CMTS … splitter cable cable modem … modem ISP termination system multiple downstream (broadcast) FDM channels: up to 1.6 Gbps/channel single CMTS transmits into channels multiple upstream channels (up to 1 Gbps/channel) multiple access: all users contend (random access) for certain upstream channel time slots; others assigned TDM Link Layer: 6-38 Cable access network: MAP frame for Interval [t1, t2] CMTS Downstream channel i Upstream channel j cable headend t1 t2 Residences with cable modems Minislots containing Assigned minislots containing cable modem minislots request frames upstream data frames DOCSIS: data over cable service interface specificaiton FDM over upstream, downstream frequency channels TDM upstream: some slots assigned, some have contention downstream MAP frame: assigns upstream slots request for upstream slots (and data) transmitted random access (binary backoff) in selected slots Link Layer: 6-39 Summary of MAC protocols channel partitioning, by time, frequency or code Time Division, Frequency Division random access (dynamic), ALOHA, S-ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA/CD carrier sensing: easy in some technologies (wire), hard in others (wireless) CSMA/CD used in Ethernet CSMA/CA used in 802.11 taking turns polling from central site, token passing Bluetooth, FDDI, token ring Link Layer: 6-40 Link layer, LANs: roadmap introduction error detection, correction multiple access protocols LANs addressing, ARP Ethernet switches VLANs a day in the life of a web link virtualization: MPLS request data center networking Link Layer: 6-41 Switched network, an example Switches operate at link layer They switch link-layer frames and DON’T use IP addresses… Thus DON’T use routing algorithm (OSPF, RIP…) Link Layer: 6-42 MAC addresses 32-bit IP address: network-layer address for interface used for layer 3 (network layer) forwarding e.g.: 128.119.40.136 MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address: function: used “locally” to get frame from one interface to another physically-connected interface (same subnet, in IP-addressing sense) 48-bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in NIC ROM, also sometimes software settable e.g.: 1A-2F-BB-76-09-AD hexadecimal (base 16) notation (each “numeral” represents 4 bits) Link Layer: 6-43 MAC addresses each interface on LAN has unique 48-bit MAC address has a locally unique 32-bit IP address (as we’ve seen) 137.196.7.78 1A-2F-BB-76-09-AD LAN (wired or wireless) 137.196.7/24 71-65-F7-2B-08-53 58-23-D7-FA-20-B0 137.196.7.23 137.196.7.14 0C-C4-11-6F-E3-98 137.196.7.88 Link Layer: 6-44 MAC addresses MAC address allocation administered by IEEE manufacturer buys portion of MAC address space (to assure uniqueness) analogy: MAC address: like Social Security Number IP address: like postal address MAC flat address: portability can move interface from one LAN to another recall IP address not portable: depends on IP subnet to which node is attached Link Layer: 6-45 ARP: address resolution protocol Question: how to determine interface’s MAC address, knowing its IP address?
