Packet Switching Outline Switching and Forwarding Bridges and LAN Switches Cell Switching (ATM) Switching Hardware

Problem: Not all networks are directly connected Limitations of the directly connected networks: –How many hosts can be attached. –How large of geographic area a single network can serve. A switch is used to enable packets (a limit-size block of data) to travel from one host to another. The jobs of a switch are: –Forward packets –Handle contention –Solve the congestion (Chapter 6) Two technologies are focused in this chapter: –LAN switching –Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)

Switching and Forwarding Outline Store-and-Forward Switches Bridges and Extended LANs Cell Switching Segmentation and Reassembly

Switching and Forwarding A switch is a multi-input, multi-output device, which transfers packets from an input to one or more outputs. A switch establishes the star topology: –Large networks can be built by interconnecting a number of switches. –We can build networks of large geographic scope. –Adding a new host to the network does not necessarily mean the hosts will get worse performance. Switched network is considered more scalable.

Scalable Networks Switch is the main function of the network layer. –forwards packets from input port to output port –port selected based on address in packet header –Approaches: datagram/connectionless, virtual circuit/connection-oriented, and source routing Advantages –cover large geographic area (tolerate latency) –support large numbers of hosts (scalable bandwidth) Input ports T3 STS-1 T3 STS-1 Switch Output ports

Switching and Forwarding A switch provides a star topology.

Datagram Switching No connection setup phase Each packet forwarded independently Sometimes called connectionless model Switch 3 Host B Switch 2 Host A Switch 1 Host C Host D Host E Host F Host G Host H Analogy: postal system Each switch maintains a forwarding (routing) table

Datagram Model There is no round trip time delay waiting for connection setup; a host can send data as soon as it is ready. Source host has no way of knowing if the network is capable of delivering a packet or if the destination host is even up or running. Each packet is forwarded independently. A switch or link failure might not have any serious effect on communication if it is possible to route around link and node failures. Since every packet must carry the full address of the destination, the overhead per packet is higher than for the connection-oriented model.

Datagram Model Destination Port A B C D E F G H Forwarding table for switch 2

Virtual Circuit Model The virtual circuit model requires a virtual connection from the source host to the destination to be set up before the connection. It is a two-stage process: connection setup and data transfer. Two approaches to establish connection state: permanent virtual circuit (PVC) by a network administrator and switched virtual circuit (SVC) by signalling. A entry in PVC contains: –An incoming interface for the incoming packets –A virtual circuit identifier (VCI) –An outgoing interface –A VCI for the outgoing packets

Virtual Circuit Model VC Table Incoming Interface Incoming VCI Outgoing Interface Outgoing VCI Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch Virtual circuit table entries for three switches

Virtual Circuit Switching Explicit connection setup (and tear-down) phase Subsequence packets follow same circuit Sometimes called connection-oriented model Switch 3 Host B Switch 2 Host A Switch 1 Analogy: phone call Each switch maintains a VC table

Virtual Circuit Model Typically wait full RTT for connection setup before sending first data packet. While the connection request contains the full address for destination, each data packet contains only a small identifier, making the per-packet header overhead small. If a switch or a link in a connection fails, the connection is broken and a new one needs to be established. Connection setup provides an opportunity to reserve resources.

Virtual Circuit Model In a datagram network, each packet competes with other packet. In the virtual model, different quality of service (QoS) can be provided. QoS means some performance- related guarantee. Examples of virtual circuit technologies: –X.25 - packet-switching technology which was designed for transmitting analog data such as voice conversations. –Frame Relay – construct virtual private network (VPNs). –asynchronous transfer mode (ATM)

Source Routing All the information about network topology for switching is provided by the source host. Possible ways to implement source routing: –Place a number to each output of each switch in the header. –Put an ordered list of switch ports in the header and rotate this list as Figure 3.7. Source routing can be used in both datagram and virtual networks. The Internet Protocol includes a source route option. Source routing suffers from a scaling problem.

Implementation and Performance A general-purpose workstation with a number of network interfaces A specialized switching device

Bridges and Extended LANs LANs have physical limitations (e.g., 2500m) Connect two or more LANs with a bridge –accept and forward strategy An Ethernet bridge can carry as 10n Mbps, where n is the number of port. A Bridge BC XY Z Port 1 Port 2

Learning Bridges Do not forward when unnecessary Maintain forwarding table HostPort A1 B1 C1 X2 Y2 Z2 Learn table entries based on source address Table is an optimization; need not to be complete Always forward broadcast frames A Bridge BC XY Z Port 1 Port 2

Spanning Tree Algorithm Problem: loops in the previous design Bridges run a distributed spanning tree algorithm –select which bridges actively forward –developed by Radia Perlman –now IEEE specification B3 A C E D B2 B5 B B7 K F H B4 J B1 B6 G I

Algorithm Overview Each bridge has unique id (e.g., B1, B2, B3) Select bridge with smallest id as root Select bridge on each LAN closest to root as designated bridge (use id to break ties) B3 A C E D B2 B5 B B7 K F H B4 J B1 B6 G I Each bridge forwards frames over each LAN for which it is the designated bridge

Algorithm Details Bridges exchange configuration messages –id for bridge sending the message –id for what the sending bridge believes to be root bridge –distance (hops) from sending bridge to root bridge Each bridge records current best configuration message for each port Initially, each bridge believes it is the root

Algorithm Detail (cont) When learn not root, stop generating config messages –in steady state, only root generates configuration messages When learn not designated bridge, stop forwarding config messages –in steady state, only designated bridges forward config messages Root continues to periodically send config messages If any bridge does not receive config message after a period of time, it starts generating config messages claiming to be the root

Broadcast and Multicast Forward all broadcast/multicast frames –current practice Each host in a multicast group must periodically send a frame with the address for the group in the source field of the frame header.

Limitations of Bridges Do not scale –The spanning tree algorithm does not scale –Broadcast does not scale. It is not necessary to broadcast messages to all hosts in a large environment. Do not accommodate heterogeneity Caution: beware of transparency. Bridges might drop frames.

Cell Switching (ATM) Architecture Features –Similarities between ATM and packet switching –Transfer of data in discrete chunks Multiple logical connections over single physical interface In ATM flow on each logical connection is in fixed sized packets called cells Minimal error and flow control –Reduced overhead Data rates (physical layer) 25.6Mbps to Mbps

Cell Switching (ATM) Connection-oriented packet-switched network Used in both WAN and LAN settings Signaling (connection setup) Protocol: Q.2931 –An ITU-T specification defining user-to-network interface signaling for Broadband ISDN. –Discover a suitable route –Responsible for allocating resources at the switches The QoS capabilities of ATM are one of its greatest strengths.

Cell Switching (ATM) Two Addressing schemes –Public ATM networks use 8-octet format (E.164 standard) –Computers attached to private ATM network use 20- octet Network Service Access Point (NSAP) address (ATM Forum) Packets are called cells – Fixed length 53 bytes –5-byte header + 48-byte payload Commonly transmitted over SONET –other physical layers possible

Cell Switching (ATM) ATM media - Commonly transmitted over SONET –DS-1/T1 –NxDS-1 –DS-3 –Multi-mode fiber (155Mbps) –SONET/SDH –(622 Mbps)

Variable vs. Fixed-Length Packets No Optimal Length –if small: high header-to-data overhead –if large: low utilization for small messages Fixed-Length Easier to Switch in Hardware –simpler –enables parallelism

Big vs Small Packets Small Improves Queue behavior –finer-grained pre-emption point for scheduling link maximum packet = 4KB link speed = 100Mbps transmission time = 4096 x 8/100 = us high priority packet may sit in the queue us in contrast, 53 x 8/100 = 4.24us for ATM –near cut-through behavior two 4KB packets arrive at same time link idle for us while both arrive at end of us, still have 8KB to transmit in contrast, ATM can transmit first cell after 4.24us at end of us, just over 4KB left in queue

Big vs. Small (cont) Small Improves Latency (for voice) –voice digitally encoded at 64KBps (8-bit samples at 8KHz) –need full cell’s worth of samples before sending cell –example: 1000-byte cells implies 125ms per cell (too long) –smaller latency implies no need for echo cancellers ATM Compromise: 48 bytes = (32+64)/2
