Nodes hosts and routers Links communication

channels that connect adjacent nodes along communication path wired or wireless links

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

seldom used on low bit-error link flow control

pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes half-duplex and full-duplex

with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can transmit but not at same time

MAC Addresses and ARP

MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address function get frame from one interface to another

physically-connected interface (same network) 48 bit MAC address (for most LANs)

bull burned in ROM allocation administered by IEEE

bull manufacturer buys portion of MAC address space MAC flat address portability

can move LAN card from one LAN to another IP hierarchical address NOT portable

address depends on IP subnet to which node is attached

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

Data Link Layer 5-18

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN

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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all machines on LAN

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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

dest error detectioncorrection (without retransmission) reliable delivery between adjacent nodes

seldom used on low bit-error link flow control

pacing between adjacent sending and receiving nodes half-duplex and full-duplex

with half duplex nodes at both ends of link can transmit but not at same time

MAC Addresses and ARP

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

MAC Addresses and ARP

MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address function get frame from one interface to another

physically-connected interface (same network) 48 bit MAC address (for most LANs)

bull burned in ROM allocation administered by IEEE

bull manufacturer buys portion of MAC address space MAC flat address portability

can move LAN card from one LAN to another IP hierarchical address NOT portable

address depends on IP subnet to which node is attached

Data Link Layer 5-10

Data Link Layer 5-13

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point

PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

broadcast (shared wire or medium) old-fashioned Ethernet 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

Data Link Layer 5-17

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

Data Link Layer 5-18

MAC Protocols Channel Partitioning

FDM cable

TDMA

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Two types of ldquolinksrdquo point-to-point

PPP for dial-up access point-to-point link between Ethernet switch and host

broadcast (shared wire or medium) old-fashioned Ethernet 80211 wireless LAN

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

shared RF(satellite)

humans at acocktail party

(shared air acoustical)

Data Link Layer 5-17

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

Data Link Layer 5-18

MAC Protocols Channel Partitioning

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

FDM cable

TDMA

FDMA

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Data Link Layer 5-21

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

ARP Address Resolution Protocol

Each IP node (host router) on LAN has ARP table IPMAC address

mappings for some LAN nodes

lt IP address MAC address TTLgt

bull TTL (Time To Live) time after which address mapping will be forgotten (typically 20 min)

ARP protocol Same LAN (network) A wants to send datagram

to B and Brsquos MAC address not in Arsquos ARP table

A broadcasts ARP query packet containing Bs IP address dest MAC address = FF-

FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all 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

ARP is ldquoplug-and-playrdquo nodes create their ARP

tables without intervention from net administrator

Linux command arp

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Differences from wired link hellip

decreased signal strength radio signal attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

used to create modify display or delete ARP table entries on the devicearp -e - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces)

arp -en - Display all ARP table entries (for all interfaces) but do not resolve IP addresses to host names

arp -d 1111 - Delete the ARP table entry for host 1111

arp -i eth0 -s 1111 A123ABCF321A - Create a static ARP table entry associating IP address 1111 with MAC address A123ABCF321A available through eth0 interface

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

shared wire (eg cabled Ethernet)

shared RF (eg 80211 WiFi)

humans at acocktail party

Data Link Layer 5-17

Multiple Access protocolsProblem single shared broadcast channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes

interference collision if node receives two or more signals at same time

Solution multiple access protocol distributed algorithm to determine how nodes share

channel ie determine when node can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel

itself Three categories

Channel Partition Random Access Take-turn

Data Link Layer 5-18

FDM cable

TDMA

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded uses CSMACD to access segment

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

MAC Protocols Random Access When node has packet to send

transmit at full channel data rate R ie channel not divided

no a priori coordination among nodes two or more transmitting nodes ldquocollisionrdquo random access MAC protocol specifies

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (eg via delayed

retransmissions) Examples

slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA CSMACD CSMACA

Data Link Layer 5-19

Data Link Layer 5-20

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access)

CSMA listen before transmit If channel sensed idle transmit entire frame If channel sensed busy defer transmission

human analogy donrsquot interrupt others

What if two people start to speak at same time CSMACD (Collision Detection) used in wired LAN (where

collisions can be detected within short time)

colliding transmissions aborted reducing channel wastage

human analogy the polite conversationalist

MAC Protocols ldquoTaking turnsrdquo nodes take turns but nodes with more

to send can take longer turns channel partitioning MAC protocols efficient

and fair at high load inefficient at low load(1N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node)

random access MAC protocols efficient at low load single node can fully utilize channel high load collision overhead

ldquotaking turnsrdquo protocols look for best of both worlds

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded uses CSMACD to access segment

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Star topology today star topology prevails Switch link-layer device

forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded uses CSMACD to access segment

Ethernet CSMACD algorithm

1 NIC receives datagram from network layer creates frame

2 If NIC senses channel idle starts frame transmission If NIC senses channel busy waits until channel idle then transmits

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

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

5 After aborting NIC enters exponential backoff after mth collision NIC chooses K at random from 012hellip2m-1 NIC waits K512 bit times returns to Step 2

connectionless No handshaking between sending and receiving NICs unreliable

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

Data Link Layer 5-28

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble used to synchronize receiver sender clock rates 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one byte with pattern

10101011 Addresses 6 bytes

if adapter receives frame with matching destination address or with broadcast address (eg ARP packet) it passes data in frame to network layer protocol otherwise adapter discards frame

Type higher layer protocol (IP Novell IPX AppleTalk) CRC checked at receiver if error is detected frame is dropped

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

bus coaxial cable

twisted pair

hub

Data Link Layer 5-30

Star topology today star topology prevails Switch link-layer device

smarter than hubs take active role store forward Ethernet frames examine incoming framersquos MAC address selectively

forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded uses CSMACD to access segment

So-called layer-2 switch Transparent

hosts are unaware of presence of switches plug-and-play self-learning

switches do not need to be configured

Differences from wired link hellip

decreased signal strength radio signal attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times

Data Link Layer 5-29

Bus topology all nodes in same collision domain (can collide with

each other) popular through mid 90s Hub physical-layer (ldquodumbrdquo) repeaters bits coming in one link go out all other links at same rate all nodes connected to hub can collide with one another no frame buffering no CSMACD at hub host NICs detect collisions

bus coaxial cable

twisted pair

Data Link Layer 5-30

Star topology today star topology prevails Switch link-layer device

smarter than hubs take active role store forward Ethernet frames examine incoming framersquos MAC address selectively

forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded uses CSMACD to access segment

So-called layer-2 switch Transparent

hosts are unaware of presence of switches plug-and-play self-learning

switches do not need to be configured

Wireless Link Characteristics (1)

Differences from wired link hellip

decreased signal strength radio signal attenuates as it propagates through matter (path loss)

interference from other sources standardized wireless network frequencies (eg 24 GHz) shared by other devices (eg phone) devices (motors) interfere as well

multipath propagation radio signal reflects off objects ground arriving ad destination at slightly different times
