2. 2 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Topics Characteristics of distance vector routing protocols Distance vector routing protocols in use today How they discover routes How they maintain routing tables Routing loops

4. 4 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Distance vector knowledge A distance vector protocol learns: The distance to a network, measured in hops or in some other way The direction of the network: which port should be used to reach it It puts the routes in the routing table It does not know any more details of the route or the other routers along the way

5. 5 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Distance vector Network 192.168.48.0 is 3 hops away using port fa0/0 Network 192.168.22.0 is 2 hops away using port fa0/1

6. 6 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Link state knowledge A link state routing protocol finds out about all the routers in the system and the networks they link to. It builds up a complete picture of the topology It can then work out the best path to any network It puts these best paths in the routing table

7. 7 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Link state I know all the routers and paths in this system of networks.

8. 8 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Metrics RIP v1 and 2hop count, maximum 15 IGRP and EIGRPbandwidth, delay, load, reliability

9. 9 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Distance vector Exchange complete routing tables with immediate neighbours Do this at regular intervals Adjust the metric, e.g. add 1 to the hop count, or add number based on bandwidth and delay of link.

10. 10 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Adjust the metric 192.168.13.0 is 2 hops away 192.168.13.0 is 3 hops away Send update

28. 28 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College RIP_JITTER RIP updates can become synchronised This is a problem if routers are linked by hubs because the updates will collide RIP_JITTER is a random variable that makes updates vary a little from the default 30 seconds

29. 29 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Triggered updates These are to speed up convergence Interface goes up/down, route added/removed Router detects change, sends update to neighbour at once without waiting for timer Neighbour passes on update at once.

30. 30 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College EIGRP Does not send regular updates Does not send its whole routing table Sends only information about changes Sends only to routers that need the information Non-periodic, partial, bounded.

31. 31 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Routing loop A packet is sent from router to router in a loop until it is eventually dropped when its TTL field drops to 0 Caused by incorrect or out of date information in routing tables Very bad for network – uses up bandwidth and processing power in routers

32. 32 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Avoiding routing loops Defining a maximum metric to prevent count to infinity Holddown timers Split horizon Route poisoning or poison reverse Triggered updates

33. 33 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Maximum metric Routers exchanging wrong information can report higher and higher values of the metric. RIP sets a maximum metric. The hop count can go up to 15. If it reaches 16 then the route is regarded as unreachable.

34. 34 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Holddown timers Router receives update saying that a network is down. Router marks the network as possibly down and starts holddown timer. Update with a better metric for that network arrives: network is reinstated and holddown timer removed. Update with the same or worse metric for that network arrives: update is ignored. Timer runs out : network removed from table. Packets still forwarded to network while timer runs.

35. 35 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Split horizon Router receives information about a route through an interface. It will not send out information about the same route through that interface. Route to 10.1.1.0 in 3 hops Route to 10.1.1.0 in 4 hops

36. 36 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Route poisoning A router detects that a route has gone down. It marks that route as unreachable in its routing table. (16 hops for RIP) It sends out updates that show the route as unreachable. Neighbour routers pass on these “poison” updates.

37. 37 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College Poison reverse This is an exception to split horizon. If a router receives an update marking a route as unreachable then it will send this information back to the router that sent it.

38. 38 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College RIP v1 and RIP v2 RIP v1 Classful, does not send subnet mask in updates so does not support VLSM Sends updates as broadcasts No authentication No manual route summarisation RIP v2 Classless, includes the subnet mask in routing updates, so supports VLSM. Sends updates as multicasts Authentication for security Supports manual route summarization.

39. 39 1-Dec-15 S Ward Abingdon and Witney College RIP v2 or EIGRP? RIP runs on any make of router, EIGRP only on Cisco routers. EIGRP is suitable for large networks EIGRP uses a more efficient metric and may choose faster routes. EIGRP converges faster than RIP EIGRP uses less bandwidth but it needs more processing power and RAM RIP is simpler to configure
