IP routing

The process of hosts and routers forwarding IP packets (Layer 3 PDUs), while relying on the underlying LANs and WANs to forward the bits

IP addressing

Addresses used to identify a packet’s source and destination host computer.


Addressing rules also organize addresses into groups, which greatly assists the routing process.

IP routing protocol

A protocol that aids routers by dynamically learning about the IP address groups so that a router knows where to route IP packets so that they go to the right destination host.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

ARP dynamically learns the data link


address of an IP host connected to a LAN.

Routing as covered so far has two main concepts:

The process of routing forwards Layer 3 packets, also called Layer 3 protocol data units


(L3 PDU), based on the destination Layer 3 address in the packet.


■ The routing process uses the data link layer to encapsulate the Layer 3 packets into Layer


2 frames for transmission across each successive data link.

two important facts about how


IPv4 groups IP addresses:

All IP addresses in the same group must not be separated from each other by a router.



■ IP addresses separated from each other by a router must be in different groups.

192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0

subnet

shorthand for subdivided network

IPv4 Host Routing

Two step logic:



Step 1. If the destination IP address is in the same IP subnet as I am, send the packet


directly to that destination host.



Step 2. Otherwise, send the packet to my default gateway, also known as a default


router. (This router has an interface on the same subnet as the host.)

Router Forwarding Logic



Step 1

Use the data link Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field to ensure that the frame had no errors; if errors occurred, discard the frame

Router Forwarding Logic



Step 2

Assuming that the frame was not discarded at Step 1, discard the old data link header and trailer, leaving the IP packet.

Router Forwarding Logic



Step 3

Compare the IP packet’s destination IP address to the routing table, and find the route that best matches the destination address. This route identifies the outgoing interface of the router, and possibly the next-hop router IP address.

Router Forwarding Logic



Step 4


Encapsulate the IP packet inside a new data link header and trailer, appropriate for the outgoing interface, and forward the frame

goals of a routing protocol

To dynamically learn and fill the routing table with a route to each subnet in the


internetwork.

goals of a routing protocol

If more than one route to a subnet is available, to place the best route in the routing


table.

goals of a routing protocol

To notice when routes in the table are no longer valid, and to remove them from the


routing table.

goals of a routing protocol

If a route is removed from the routing table and another route through another neighboring


router is available, to add the route to the routing table. (Many people view this


goal and the preceding one as a single goal)

goals of a routing protocol

To work quickly when adding new routes or replacing lost routes. (The time between losing


the route and finding a working replacement route is called convergence time.)

goals of a routing protocol

To prevent routing loops

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

method by which any host or router on a LAN can dynamically learn the MAC address of another IP host or router on the same LAN.

ARP Request

a message that asks the simple request “if this is your IP address, please reply with your MAC address.”

ARP Reply message

lists both the original IP address and the matching MAC address.
