Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology

hosts and routers are nodescommunication channels that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links

wired linkswireless linksLANs

layer-2 packet is a frameencapsulates datagram

ldquolinkrdquo

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link

5 DataLink Layer 5-4

Link layer contextDatagram transferred by different link protocols over different links

eg Ethernet on first link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

Each link protocol provides different services

eg may or may not provide rdt over link

Link Layer Services (more)

Flow Controlpacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes

Error Detectionerrors caused by signal attenuation noise receiver detects presence of errors

bull signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

Error Correctionreceiver identifies and corrects bit error(s) without resorting to retransmission

Half-duplex and full-duplexwith half duplex nodes at both ends of link can transmit but not at same time

Multiple Access Links and ProtocolsTwo types of ldquolinksrdquo

point-to-pointPPP for dial-up accesspoint-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

broadcast (shared wire or medium)traditional Ethernetupstream HFC80211 wireless LAN

5 DataLink Layer 5-16

Multiple Access protocolssingle shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes interference

collision if node receives two or more signals at the same timemultiple access protocol

distributed algorithm that determines how nodes share channel ie determine when node can transmitcommunication about channel sharing must use channel itself

no out-of-band channel for coordination

5 DataLink Layer 5-17

Ideal Mulitple Access Protocol

Broadcast channel of rate R bps1 When one node wants to transmit it can send at

rate R2 When M nodes want to transmit each can send at

average rate RM3 Fully decentralized

no special node to coordinate transmissionsno synchronization of clocks slots

5 DataLink Layer 5-18

MAC Protocols a taxonomyThree broad classes

Channel Partitioningdivide channel into smaller ldquopiecesrdquo (time slots frequency code)allocate piece to node for exclusive use

Random Accesschannel not divided allow collisionsldquorecoverrdquo from collisions

ldquoTaking turnsrdquoNodes take turns but nodes with more to send can take longer turns

Random Access Protocols

When node has packet to sendtransmit at full channel data rate Rno a priori coordination among nodes

two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquorandom access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisionshow to recover from collisions (eg via delayed retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-22

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

12

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

hellip choosing optimum p and then letting n -gt infty

= 1(2e) = 18 Even worse

5 DataLink Layer 5-27

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmitIf channel sensed idle transmit entire frame

If channel sensed busy defer transmission

Human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

5 DataLink Layer 5-28

CSMA collisionscollisions can still occurpropagation delay means two nodes may not heareach otherrsquos transmission

CSMACD (Collision Detection)CSMACD carrier sensing deferral as in CSMA

collisions detected within short timecolliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

ARP protocol Same LAN (network)

A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP tableA broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address

Dest MAC address = FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFall machines on LAN receive ARP query

B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address

frame sent to Arsquos MAC address (unicast)

A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out)

soft state information that times out (goes away) unless refreshed

Ethernet Frame StructureSending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other

network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern 10101011used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

Addresses 6 bytesif adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocolotherwise adapter discards frame

Type indicates the higher layer protocol (mostly IP but others may be supported such as Novell IPX and AppleTalk)CRC checked at receiver if error is detected the frame is simply dropped

5 DataLink Layer 5-48

Unreliable connectionless service

Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending adapter

stream of datagrams passed to network layer can have gapsgaps will be filled if app is using TCPotherwise app will see the gaps

25

5 DataLink Layer 5-49

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Link Layer IntroductionSome terminology

hosts and routers are nodescommunication channels that connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links

wired linkswireless linksLANs

layer-2 packet is a frameencapsulates datagram

data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to adjacent node over a link

5 DataLink Layer 5-4

Link layer contextDatagram transferred by different link protocols over different links

eg Ethernet on first link frame relay on intermediate links 80211 on last link

Each link protocol provides different services

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-22

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

12

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

5 DataLink Layer 5-22

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

12

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 DataLink Layer 5-22

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

12

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

Random Access Protocols

When node has packet to sendtransmit at full channel data rate Rno a priori coordination among nodes

two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquorandom access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisionshow to recover from collisions (eg via delayed retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocolsslotted ALOHAALOHACSMA CSMACD CSMACA

5 DataLink Layer 5-22

Slotted ALOHA

Assumptionsall frames same sizetime is divided into equal size slots time to transmit 1 framenodes start to transmit frames only at beginning of slotsnodes are synchronizedif 2 or more nodes transmit in slot all nodes detect collision

Operationwhen node obtains fresh frame it transmits in next slotno collision node can send new frame in next slotif collision node retransmits frame in each subsequent slot with prob p until success

12

5 DataLink Layer 5-23

Slotted ALOHA

Prossingle active node can continuously transmit at full rate of channelhighly decentralized only slots in nodes need to be in syncsimple

Conscollisions wasting slotsidle slotsnodes may be able to detect collision in less than time to transmit packetclock synchronization

5 DataLink Layer 5-24

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

13

5 DataLink Layer 5-25

Pure (unslotted) ALOHAunslotted Aloha simpler no synchronizationwhen frame first arrives

transmit immediately collision probability increases

frame sent at t0 collides with other frames sent in [t0-1t0+1]

5 DataLink Layer 5-26

Pure Aloha efficiencyP(success by given node) = P(node transmits)

P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0] P(no other node transmits in [p0-1p0]

= p (1-p)N-1 (1-p)N-1

= p (1-p)2(N-1)

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Slotted Aloha efficiency

Suppose N nodes with many frames to send each transmits in slot with probability pprob that node 1 has success in a slot= p(1-p)N-1

prob that any node has a success = Np(1-p)N-1

For max efficiency with N nodes find p that maximizes Np(1-p)N-1

For many nodes take limit of Np(1-p)N-1

as N goes to infinity gives 1e = 37

Efficiency is the long-run fraction of successful slots when there are many nodes each with many frames to send

At best channelused for useful transmissions 37of time

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Ethernet Frame Structure (more)

Addresses 6 bytesif adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to net-layer protocolotherwise adapter discards frame

Unreliable connectionless service

Connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving adapter Unreliable receiving adapter doesnrsquot send acks or nacks to sending adapter

5 DataLink Layer 5-49

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

A wants to send datagram to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP tableA broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address

Dest MAC address = FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FFall machines on LAN receive ARP query

B receives ARP packet replies to A with its (Bs) MAC address

frame sent to Arsquos MAC address (unicast)

A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out)

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2

Ethernet uses CSMACD

No slotsadapter doesnrsquot transmit if it senses that some other adapter is transmitting that is carrier sensetransmitting adapter aborts when it senses that another adapter is transmitting that is collision detection

Before attempting a retransmission adapter waits a random time that is random access

5 DataLink Layer 5-50

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm1 Adaptor receives

datagram from net layer amp creates frame

2 If adapter senses channel idle it starts to transmit frame If it senses channel busy waits until channel idle and then transmits

3 If adapter transmits entire frame without detecting another transmission the adapter is done with frame

4 If adapter detects another transmission while transmitting aborts and sends jam signal

5 After aborting adapter enters exponential backoff after the mthcollision adapter chooses a K at random from 012hellip2m-1 Adapter waits K512 bit times and returns to Step 2
