congestion control algorithm

Congestion Control Algorithm

• Preallocation of Buffers e.g.,– Allocate Buffer to Each Virtual Circuit in Each

IMP.

Note: This May be Expensive, and Only Used Where Low Delay & High Bandwidth are Essential (e.g., Digitized Voice)

2

Packet Discarding

• Datagram Service: Packet Discard at Will• Virtual Circuit Service: A Copy of Packet Must be

Kept

Note: If Congestion is to be Avoided by Discarding Packets, A Rule is Needed

InputLines

OutputLines Free Buffer

Congestion can be reduced by putting an upper bound on the number of buffers queued on an output file

Technology • Still Desirable to Connect These Networks

Four Common Types of Relays

• Layer 1: Repeaters Copy Individual Bits Between Cable Segments

• Layer 2: Bridges Store and Forward Frames Between LANs

• Layer 3: Gateways Store and Forward Packets Between Dissimilar Networks

• Layer 4: Protocol Converters Provide Interfacing in Higher Layers

Firewall

•A dedicated gateway machine with special

security precautions on it.

•Out-going/in-coming packets may be blocked.

•IP address and a port number may be used to

block the packets.

Provides a mapping between the two forms of addresses: 32-bit IP addresses and data link addresses (e.g., 48-bit Ethernet addr.)

ARP Request/Reply

ARP (cont’d)

Fund. Concept: The network interface has a hardware address,

and frames exchanged at the hardware level must be addressed to

the correct interface. TCP/IP works with its own addresses (i.e.,

32-bit IP addresses). Knowing a host’s IP addresses does not let

the kernel (i.e., Ethernet driver) must know the hardware address

to send the data.

Summary

Protocol addresses cannot be used when transmitting frames

across physical network hardware, because the hardware does

not understand IP addressing.

So, a frame sent across a given physical network must use hard

ware’s frame format, and all addresses in the frame must

be hardware address

Internet Control Protocols

• ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)• ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)• RARP (Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)• BOOTP (Bootstrap Protocol)

BOOTP (cont’d)

BOOTP uses UDP and is intended as an alternative to RARP For bootstrapping a diskless system to find its IP address.Bootp can also return additional information such as the IP address of a router, the client’s subnet mask, and the IP address of a name server.

BOOTP (cont’d)

BOOTP DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)Unlike BOOTP, DHCP does not require an administrator to add an entry for each computer to the database that a server uses. Instead, DHCP provides a mechanism that allows a computer to join a new network and obtain an IP address without manual intervention.Note: An administrator can configure a DHCP server to have 2 types of addresses: Permanent addresses and a pool of addresses to be allocated on demand.

Goals: IPv6

1. Support billions of hosts, even with inefficient address space allocation

2. Reduce the size of the routing tables

3. Simplify the protocol, to allow routers to process packets faster

4. Provide better security (authentication and privacy) than current IP

5. Pay more attention to type of service, particularly for real-time data

IPv6 (cont’d)

6. Aid multicasting by allowing scopes to be specified

7. Make it possible for a host to roam without changing its address

8. Allow the protocol to evolve in the future

9. Permit the old and new protocols to coexist for years

Two Forms of Connections

• Virtual Calls --- A Connection is Established, Data Are Transferred, & Then The Connection is Released

• Permanent Virtual Calls --- Like A Leased Line, DTE at Either End LAN Just Send Data Whenever It Wants, Without Any Setup

• Note: The Choice of Circuit # on Outgoing Calls is Determined by The DTE, and on Incoming Calls by The DCE, May Lead to A Call Collision.
