Routing Introduction
•
Remember… delivery of IP packets implemented by two processes
– Forwarding
– Routing
•
Dynamic routing process is a distributed computation
– Triggered by topology changes
– Processing defined by a routing protocol
– Output of the computation is forwarding state
•
Goal of computation is convergence
– After finite sequence of topology changes
– Process should terminate updates to forwarding state
– Forwarding state should be correct
• Loop-free (after convergence vs. instantaneous)
• With desired characteristics: performance, possibly conform to policy

“Fate-sharing” Principle
•
“The fate-sharing model suggests that it is acceptable to lose the state
information associated with an entity if, at the same time, the entity itself is
lost.” Dave Clark, “Design Philosophy of the DARPA Internet Protocols”,
SIGCOMM ‘88.
•
Benefits
– Ensures the failure of any single component of an internet does not invalidate
state located elsewhere in the internet
– Localizing the effects of any failures
– More robust system
•
Internet routing architecture co-locates
– Forwarding state
– Routing process that computes the state
•
Compared with virtual-circuit routing?

Routing Protocol
•
A set of algorithms and messages that are used to exchange topology information
and populate the forwarding table with the routing protocol’s choice of best paths.
•
Purpose:
– Discover remote subnets
– Maintain up-to-date forwarding tables
– Choose the best path to destination subnets
•
Components of a routing protocol:
– Algorithm:
• Procedures for
– Processing routing information
– Selecting best-paths
• The data structures needed for these steps.
– Routing protocol messages:
• Discover neighboring routers
• Exchange topology information

Destination-Based Forwarding
•
Internet routing uses a single path per destination
•
Destination-based forwarding is a restricted version of single-path
•
A path through a node to a destination…
•
…must be an extension of the path from the node to the destination.
•
This is coming back to haunt us…

Review
•
The Internet implements a distributed routing architecture that is triggered
by topology change events.
•
Convergence of routing in the Internet depends on the stability of the
network topology for a sufficient period of time.
•
The Fate-Sharing Principle – “It is acceptable to lose the state information
associated with an entity if, at the same time, the entity itself is lost.”
– Ensures the failure of any single component of an internet does not invalidate
state located elsewhere in the internet
– Localizing the effects of any failures
– Results in a more robust system
– Achieved in Internet by co-locating
• Forwarding state
• Routing process that computes the state

Link-State Protocols
• Are Interior-Gateway Protocols (IGPs)
• Exchange link-state information
– Pair of routers connected by a subnet
– Cost of subnet (hop count, delay, etc.)
• Conceptually, very simple…
Spring 2013
CE 151 - Advanced Networks
20
Link-State Protocols
• Maintains a topology database of all the links it has heard of
– Initialize with the subnets it is connected to.
• Floods link-state updates describing its directly connected subnets,
including any changes to these links.
– “Tell the rest of the network about your neighbors”
• Participates in the flooding of link-state updates from other routers.
• On update of its topology database
– Runs a shortest-path algorithm on the database to compute routes
• Dijkstra is most efficient
– Updates its forwarding table with any changes.

Characterizing Link State
Link-State
• # updates per link change?
– One.
• How far propagate updates?
– Flooded to all nodes.
• One update, global distribution.
• Scaling problems due to flooding
•
As we’ll see next lecture, the characteristics of distance vector…
– …are very different
– …hint at a much better solution

Dijstra Shortest-Path Algorithm
•
Breadth-first search of paths, by increasing path cost, for best paths to all
destinations. Terminate when path has been found for all destinations.
•
Maintain two sets
– Destinations for which shortest paths have been found.
• Permanently labeled destinations P
• Initialize with self
– Destinations for which candidate shortest paths have been found.
• Temporarily labeled destinations T
• Initialize with my neighbors.
•
Iterate
– Move shortest path in T, say for destination D, to P
– Add routes for D’s neighbors, that are extensions of the path to T, to T if they are shorter
than the current path in T for each neighbor. The “relaxation” step.
– Repeat until a route has been added to P for all destinations

More formally…
•
E is the set of edges.
•
wij is the weight of the link between
nodes i and j.
•
P and T… see previous slide.
•
P and T entries are triples, <d, p, w>:
– d is the destination
– p is the predecessor
– w is the link weight

Translating to a Protocol
• Dijkstra requires a “centralized” implementation
– Maintain a full graph of the network, on an event-driven basis
– Re-compute routes as the graph changes
– Flood changes to your links
• “Brute-force” protocol.
– Straight-forward, easy to understand
– Inefficient… lots of overhead
Spring 2013
CE 151 - Advanced Networks
26
Review
• Dijkstra
– Iterates on “next shortest path”
– Requires centralized computation
• LS protocols
– Is an IGP
– Implements a centralized routing model
– Floods link-state updates describing current state of its links
• “Tell the rest of the network about your neighbors”
– Use Dijkstra algorithm because it is most efficient shortest-path algorithm

The Challenge of Internet Routing
• Independent routing computations at each router…
• Need to compute paths that…
– Support destination-based forwarding
– Are shortest
– Are loop-free
• This is trickier than it looks…

• Areas
Spring 2013
CE 151 - Advanced Networks
33
OSPF Messages
• An OSPF message can contain one of five packet types.
• OSPF is embedded directly in an IP frame (doesn’t use UDP)
– Protocol field is set to 89 (OSPF)
– Destination address is typically set to one of two multicast addresses:
• 224.0.0.5 (“AllSPFRouters”… Hello messages) or
• 224.0.0.6 (“AllDRouters”… routing info to “Designated Routers”).
• If the OSPF packet is encapsulated in an Ethernet frame, the destination
MAC address is also a multicast address:
– 01-00-5E-00-00-05 or 01-00-5E-00-00-06
Spring 2013
CE 151 - Advanced Networks
34
OSPF Packet Types
• Hello: Used to establish and maintain adjacency with other OSPF routers.
• DBD: The database description (DBD) packet contains an abbreviated list
of the sending router’s link-state database and is used by receiving routers
to check against the local link-state database.
• LSR: Receiving routers can then request more information about any entry
in the DBD by sending a link-state request (LSR).
• LSU: Link-state update (LSU) packets are used to reply to LSRs and to
announce new information. LSUs contain seven different types of linkstate advertisements (LSA).
• LSAck: When an LSU is received, the router sends a link-state
acknowledgment (LSAck) to confirm receipt of the LSU.

RouterIDs
•
Router
ID
Router ID plays an important role in OSPF
– Uniquely identifies each router in a routing domain
– Used in Designated Router election process
(explained later)
•
Router ID is an IP address of a router
•
Cisco routers use following algorithm to
determine Router ID
Router
ID
– IP address configured with OSPF router-id
command
– If not configured, use highest IP address of a
loopback interface
– If no loopback interfaces, use highest active IP
address of physical interface
•
Advantage of loopback interface is it cannot fail

OSPF Metrics
•
The OSPF metric is called cost. The following passage is from RFC 2328:
–
A cost is associated with the output side of each router interface. This cost is configurable
•
RFC 2328 does not specify which values should be used to determine the cost.
•
In Cisco IOS

Spring 2013
Link cost is 108 ÷ link bandwidth.
Reference bandwidth (108) can be changed with auto-cost referencebandwidth
Modify link bandwidth value with bandwidth

Link State Database
• The collection of all LSAs is called the link-state database
• Each router has and identical link-state database
– Useful for debugging: Each router has a complete description of the network
• If neighboring routers discover each other for the first time, they will
exchange their link-state databases
• The link-state databases are synchronized using reliable flooding

Dissemination of LSA-Update
• A router sends and refloods LSA-Updates, whenever the topology or link
cost changes. (If a received LSA does not contain new information, the
router will not flood the packet)
• Exception: Infrequently (every 30 minutes), a router will flood LSAs even if
there are no new changes.
• Acknowledgements of LSA-updates:
– explicit ACK, or
– implicit via reception of an LSA-Update

Why Designated Routers?
• Large number of adjacencies
– Full mesh of adjacencies
– n(n - 1)/2 adjacencies
• Excessive load from flooding LSAs

Electing Designated Router
• OSPF elects a Designated Router (DR) on multiaccess networks
• DR is collection and distribution point for LSAs on network
• Backup Designated Router (BDR) also elected for case where DR fails

Electing Designated Router
• Election held through exchange of Hello messages
• DR/BDR election criteria
– DR is router with highest interface priority
– BDR is router with second-highest interface priority
– If interface priorities are equal, use Router ID

Electing Designated Router
• Further elections only occur on failure of DR/BDR
• On DR failure
– BDR promoted to DR
– New BDR elected
• On BDR failure
– New BDR elected
• Live (B)DR not replaced by election.
– If DR dies
• BDR replaces DR
• Election held to replace BDR
– If BDR dies
• Election held to replace BDR

OSPF Areas
•
An OSPF Area is a set of routers that share link state information
•
Goal is to address scalability problem with OSPF flooding
•
Area 0 is the backbone area
– All areas must be connected to he backbone area
– Best practice to use area 0 in single-area OSPF
– Eases conversion to multi-area

Review
• OSPF message types
–
–
–
–
–
Hello - establish and maintain adjacency with OSPF routers
DataBase Description (DBD) - summary of my database
Link-State Request (LSR) - request for detailed entry
Link-State Update (LSU) - response to LSR
Link-State Ack (LSAck) - acknowledge receipt of LSU
• Router IDs…
– Uniquely identifies each router in a routing domain
– Used in Designated Router election process
– Best practice is to use loopback interface... it can’t fail

Review
• OSPF metrics…
– “Cost is associated with the output side of each router interface.”
– In IOS is 108 / link bandwidth (inversely proportional to bandwidth)
• Designated routers…
– Mitigate impact of “full-mesh” on # of adjacencies in topology (n(n-1)/2)
– DR is collection and distribution point for LSAs on network
• OSPF deals with scaling problem by using “areas,” area 0 is the backbone.
