1. Page 110/27/2015 A router ‘knows’ only of networks attached to it directly – unless you configure a static route or use routing protocols Routing protocols share this information among immediate neighbors first, and then throughout the network Routers do not calculate the entire path to a destination  They select the next hop leading to that destination  Rely on the next hop router to select a further hop that gets the packet closer to its destination  A router’s routing tables contains information about the networks directly connected to it, as well as information that the router has “learned” about more distant networks (sample of a routing table) Routing Protocols

2. Page 210/27/2015 Important function of a router (layer 3):  Examine incoming data packets and make path selection based on information stored in their routing tables Router evaluates the available paths to a destination to establish the best path for routing a packet. Most routing protocols use the shortest and best path - but by different means. Routing Protocols (cont.)

3. Page 310/27/2015 Characteristics of static routing: administrators manually configure static routes routes do not change, unless changed by the administrator are useful in environments where there is a single link in or out of the networks (know as a stub network) because there is only one link to get to the neighbor network, we conserve bandwidth not being used by routing protocols Static Routing

4. Page 410/27/2015 Static route can be defined by: RouterA(config)# ip route Router A Router B Network 200.10.10.0/24 192.16.10.1 s0 (Packets arriving at Router A with network 200.10.10.0 as their destination will be sent to the serial port of the next router – that is, the next hop) RouterA(config)# ip route 200.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 192.16.10.1 (The same thing can be accomplished by this: Packets arriving at Router A with network 200.10.10.0 as their destination will be sent out of Router A via Serial port 0) RouterA(config)# ip route 200.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 s0 Static Routing

15. Page 1510/27/2015 Routed vs. Routing: Routed protocols are protocols are protocols used to carry the data across the networks – like those in the IP protocol (such as Telnet) and Novel lIPX Routing protocols route routed protocols through a network. (Routers use routing protocols to talk to each other about networks & paths. Dynamically advertise and learn routes, determine which routes are available and which are the most efficient routes to a destination) IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) EIGRP ( Enhanced IGRP) BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) APPN (Advanced Peer-to-Peer Networking) IS-IS (Intermediate System-to Intermediate System) RIP (Routing Information Protocol) Routed Vs. Routing Protocols

16. Page 1610/27/2015 An autonomous system (AS) is a collection of networks under a common administration. The American Registry of Internet Numbers (ARIN) assigns an identifying number to each AS. AS is a 16 bit number. Some routing protocols such as IGRP, EIGRP requires AS for their configurations. Autonomous Systems

17. Page 1710/27/2015 When complex networks have multiple interconnections, static routes are not a practical solution – they can’t react to changes in the topology When all routers in an internetwork are operating with the same knowledge of the routes in a network is said to have converged. Fast convergence is desirable because it reduces the period of time in which routers would continue to make incorrect routing decisions. In routers that use dynamic routing protocols, it is important to have fast convergence because routers could make incorrect forwarding decisions until the network has fully converged. Routing Protocols

19. Page 1910/27/2015 Routing protocols are divided into 2 classes: interior - used for routing information within networks that are under a common network administrator RIP IGRP OSPF EIGRP exterior - used for routing information between networks that do not share a common administrator. EGP (exterior gateway protocol) BGP Routing Protocols (cont.)

20. Page 2010/27/2015 Classes of Routing Protocols distance-vector - determines the direction & distance IGRP RIP link-state (also called shortest path first) re-creates the exact topology of the entire network. OSPF IS-IS Classes of Routing Protocols

21. Page 2110/27/2015 Distance vector routing algorithms pass periodic copies of a routing table from router to router. These regular updates are based on the routing algorithm know as ‘Bellman-Ford’ algorithm. However distance vector algorithms do not allow a router to know the exact topology of an internetwork as each router only sees its neighbor routers. Distance Vector Routing Protocols

24. Page 2410/27/2015 Routing table updates take place periodically. Router to router (neighbor tells neighbor) Distance vector – each router sends its entire routing table to neighbor table Distance Vector Routing Protocols

25. Page 2510/27/2015 Link-state algorithms are also known as Dijkstras algorithm or SPF (shortest path first) algorithm. Link-state routing algorithms maintain a complex database of topology information. It maintains full knowledge of distant routers and how they are interconnected. Link-state routing uses: Link-state Advertisements (LSAs) Small packets of routing info that are sent between routers Topological database SPF algorithm Routing tables Link-state Routing Protocol

26. Page 2610/27/2015 Link-state makes an update only when there is a topology change. Link-state concerns itself with: processor overhead memory requirements bandwidth consumption After the initial flood, it passes small event-triggered updates to all other routers Link-state Routing Protocol

27. Page 2710/27/2015 A responsibility of a Routing Protocol is to build routing tables to determine optimal routing paths They need to have a way to measure (metrics) which routes are preferred when there are multiple paths to a destination Different routing protocols use different metrics 1.Hop count: number of routing devices the packet needs to travel to reach the destination network 2.Bandwidth: cumulative bandwidth of the links to the destination measured in kilobits per second 3.Delay: length of time (in microseconds) a packet takes from source to destination 4.Reliability: consistency of the links and paths toward the destination based on the interfaces’ error rates 5.Load: cumulative amount of congestion of the links in the direction of the destination Routing Metrics

30. Page 3010/27/2015 Characteristics of RIP are: distance vector metric is hop count if the hop count is greater than 15, the packet is discarded is updated every 30 seconds For RIP, each router that it has to go through to get to a network is considered a hop count. That is, if you have to go through 2 routers to get to a network, then the hop count is 2. If the network is on the next router, then the hop count is 0. (That is a directly connected serial port.)
