4 IP datagram format ver length 32 bits data (variable length, typically a TCP or UDP segment) 16-bit identifier Internet checksum time to live 32 bit source IP address IP protocol version number header length (bytes) max number remaining hops (decremented at each router) for fragmentation/ reassembly total datagram length (bytes) upper layer protocol to deliver payload to head. len type of service “type” of data flgs fragment offset upper layer 32 bit destination IP address Options (if any) E.g. timestamp, record route taken, specify list of routers to visit. how much overhead with TCP? r 20 bytes of TCP r 20 bytes of IP r = 40 bytes + app layer overhead

5 IP Fragmentation & Reassembly r network links have MTU (max.transfer size) - largest possible link-level frame. m different link types, different MTUs r large IP datagram divided (“fragmented”) within net m one datagram becomes several datagrams m “reassembled” only at final destination m IP header bits used to identify, order related fragments fragmentation: in: one large datagram out: 3 smaller datagrams reassembly

6 IP Fragmentation and Reassembly ID =x offset =0 fragflag =0 length =4000 ID =x offset =0 fragflag =1 length =1500 ID =x offset =185 fragflag =1 length =1500 ID =x offset =370 fragflag =0 length =1040 One large datagram becomes several smaller datagrams Example r 4000 byte datagram r MTU = 1500 bytes 1480 bytes in data field offset = 1480/8

8 IP Addressing: introduction r IP address: 32-bit identifier for host, router interface r interface: connection between host/router and physical link m router’s typically have multiple interfaces m host may have multiple interfaces m IP addresses associated with each interface =

9 Subnets r IP address: m subnet part (high order bits) m host part (low order bits) r What’s a subnet ? m device interfaces with same subnet part of IP address m can physically reach each other without intervening router network consisting of 3 subnets subnet

10 Subnets / / /24 Recipe r to determine the subnets, detach each interface from its host or router, creating islands of isolated networks r each isolated network is called a subnet. Subnet mask: /24

11 Subnets How many?

12 IP addressing: CIDR CIDR: Classless InterDomain Routing m subnet portion of address of arbitrary length m address format: a.b.c.d/x, where x is # bits in subnet portion of address subnet part host part /23

13 IP addresses: how to get one? Q: How does host get IP address? r hard-coded by system admin in a file m Wintel: control-panel->network->configuration- >tcp/ip->properties m UNIX: /etc/rc.config r DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: dynamically get address from a server m “plug-and-play”

14 DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from network server when it joins network Can renew its lease on address in use Allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while connected an “on”) Support for mobile users who want to join network (more shortly) DHCP overview: m host broadcasts “DHCP discover” msg [optional] m DHCP server responds with “DHCP offer” msg [optional] m host requests IP address: “DHCP request” msg m DHCP server sends address: “DHCP ack” msg

15 DHCP client-server scenario A B E DHCP server arriving DHCP client needs address in this network

16 DHCP client-server scenario DHCP server: arriving client time DHCP discover src : , 68 dest.: ,67 yiaddr: transaction ID: 654 DHCP offer src: , 67 dest: , 68 yiaddrr: transaction ID: 654 Lifetime: 3600 secs DHCP request src: , 68 dest:: , 67 yiaddrr: transaction ID: 655 Lifetime: 3600 secs DHCP ACK src: , 67 dest: , 68 yiaddrr: transaction ID: 655 Lifetime: 3600 secs

17 DHCP: more than IP address DHCP can return more than just allocated IP address on subnet: m address of first-hop router for client m name and IP address of DNS sever m network mask (indicating network versus host portion of address)

18 DHCP: example r connecting laptop needs its IP address, addr of first- hop router, addr of DNS server: use DHCP router (runs DHCP) DHCP UDP IP Eth Phy DHCP UDP IP Eth Phy DHCP  DHCP request encapsulated in UDP, encapsulated in IP, encapsulated in Ethernet  Ethernet frame broadcast (dest: FFFFFFFFFFFF ) on LAN, received at router running DHCP server  Ethernet demuxed to IP demuxed, UDP demuxed to DHCP

19 r DCP server formulates DHCP ACK containing client’s IP address, IP address of first-hop router for client, name & IP address of DNS server router (runs DHCP) DHCP UDP IP Eth Phy DHCP UDP IP Eth Phy DHCP  encapsulation of DHCP server, frame forwarded to client, demuxing up to DHCP at client  client now knows its IP address, name and IP address of DNS server, IP address of its first-hop router DHCP: example

20 IP addresses: how to get one? Q: How does network get subnet part of IP addr? A: gets allocated portion of its provider ISP’s address space ISP's block /20 Organization /23 Organization /23 Organization /23... ….. …. …. Organization /23

21 Hierarchical addressing: route aggregation “Send me anything with addresses beginning /20” / / /23 Fly-By-Night-ISP Organization 0 Organization 7 Internet Organization 1 ISPs-R-Us “Send me anything with addresses beginning /16” /23 Organization Hierarchical addressing allows efficient advertisement of routing information:

22 Hierarchical addressing: more specific routes ISPs-R-Us has a more specific route to Organization 1 “Send me anything with addresses beginning /20” / / /23 Fly-By-Night-ISP Organization 0 Organization 7 Internet Organization 1 ISPs-R-Us “Send me anything with addresses beginning /16 or /23” /23 Organization

23 IP addressing: the last word... Q: How does an ISP get block of addresses? A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers m allocates addresses m manages DNS m assigns domain names, resolves disputes

24 NAT: Network Address Translation local network (e.g., home network) /24 rest of Internet Datagrams with source or destination in this network have /24 address for source, destination (as usual) All datagrams leaving local network have same single source NAT IP address: , different source port numbers

25 NAT: Network Address Translation r Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside word is concerned: m no need to be allocated range of addresses from ISP: - just one IP address is used for all devices m can change addresses of devices in local network without notifying outside world m can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local network m devices inside local net not explicitly addressable, visible by outside world (a security plus).

26 NAT: Network Address Translation Implementation: NAT router must: m outgoing datagrams: replace (source IP address, port #) of every outgoing datagram to (NAT IP address, new port #)... remote clients/servers will respond using (NAT IP address, new port #) as destination addr. m remember (in NAT translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair m incoming datagrams: replace (NAT IP address, new port #) in dest fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table

27 NAT: Network Address Translation S: , 3345 D: , : host sends datagram to , 80 NAT translation table WAN side addr LAN side addr , , 3345 …… S: , 80 D: , S: , 5001 D: , : NAT router changes datagram source addr from , 3345 to , 5001, updates table S: , 80 D: , : Reply arrives dest. address: , : NAT router changes datagram dest addr from , 5001 to , 3345

28 NAT: Network Address Translation r 16-bit port-number field: m 60,000 simultaneous connections with a single LAN-side address! r NAT is controversial: m routers should only process up to layer 3 m violates end-to-end argument NAT possibility must be taken into account by app designers, eg, P2P applications m address shortage should instead be solved by IPv6

29 NAT traversal problem r client wants to connect to server with address m server address local to LAN (client can’t use it as destination addr) m only one externally visible NATed address: r solution 1: statically configure NAT to forward incoming connection requests at given port to server m e.g., ( , port 2500) always forwarded to port NAT router Client ?

30 NAT traversal problem r solution 2: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device (IGD) Protocol. Allows NATed host to:  learn public IP address ( )  add/remove port mappings (with lease times) i.e., automate static NAT port map configuration NAT router IGD

31 NAT traversal problem r solution 3: relaying (used in Skype) m NATed client establishes connection to relay m External client connects to relay m relay bridges packets between to connections Client NAT router 1. connection to relay initiated by NATed host 2. connection to relay initiated by client 3. relaying established
