Question
Answer
IP datagram format diagram   slide 43  
🗑
what is an IP address   32-bit identifier associated with each host or router interface  
🗑
what is an interface   connection between host/router and physical link  
🗑
can routers have multiple interfaces   yes  
🗑
how many interfaces does a host have   one or two interfaces (wired ethernet / wireless)  
🗑
what is a subnet   device interfaces that can physically reach each other without passing through anintervening router  
🗑
what are the two IP addresses structures   subnet part and host part  
🗑
what is a subnet part   devices in same subnet have common high order bits  
🗑
what is a host part   remaining low order bits  
🗑
what is the recipe for defining subnets   detach each interface from its host or router creating islands of isolated networks / each isolated network is called a subnet  
🗑
what does CIDR stand for   classless interdomain routing  
🗑
what is the purpose of a CIDR   subnet portion of address of arbitrary length / address format a.b.c.d/x where x is # bits in subnet portion of address  
🗑
what are subnet mask used for   they are used by a computer to determine if any computer is on the same network or on a different network  
🗑
what is a IPv4 subnet mask   32 bit sequence of ones followed by a block of zeros  
🗑
what do ones in IPv4 subnet mask designate   the network prefix  
🗑
what do zeros in IPv4 subnet mask designate   the host identifier  
🗑
what do we use in shorthand   /24  
🗑
what does /24 mean   means subnet mask has 24 ones and the rest are zeros  
🗑
how does a host get an IP address   it's hard-coded by sysadmin in config file  
🗑
what does DHCP stand for   dynamic host configuration protocol  
🗑
what is the function of DHCP   dynamically get address from as server (plug-and-play)  
🗑
what's the goal of DHCP   host dynamically obtains IP address from network server when it joins network (can renew its lease on address in use / allows reuse of addressing / support for mobile users who join and leave network)  
🗑
what is the overview of DHCP   host broadcasts DHCP discover msg / DHCP server responds with DHCP offer / host requests IP address = DHCP request msg / DHCP server sends address = DHCP ack msg  
🗑
example of DHCP client-server scenario   slide 54-55  
🗑
what more can DHCP return on subnet other than an IP address   address of first-hop router for client / name and IP address of DNS server / network mask (indicating network versus host portion of address)  
🗑
example of DHCP   slide 57-58  
🗑
what is subnetting   dividing a single large network into multiple small networks known as subnets to help relieve network congestion and improve efficiency in utilizing relatively small network address space available  
🗑
what is supernetting   combing multiple networks into a single large network known as supernets to provide route updates in the most efficient way possible by advertising many routes in one ad instead of individually  
🗑
what are the two approaches to subnetting   fixed length subnet mask (FLSM) and variable-length subnet mask (VLSM)  
🗑
describe FLSM subnetting   all subnets are equal in size with an equal number of host identifiers  
🗑
describe VSLM subnetting   subnet design strategy that allows all subnet masks to have variable sizes / network admin can divide an IP address space into subnets of different sizes and allocate it according to individual needs on network  
🗑
how is VSLM efficient   it makes more efficient use of given IP address range (default standard for how every network is designed today)  
🗑
what is VSLM supported by   supported by most used protocols on the internet  
🗑
what are some protocols that support VSLM   open shortest path first / enhanced interior gateway protocol / border gateway protocol...  
🗑
when do you use the same subnet mask for each subnet   in FLSM and all the subnets have the same number of addresses in them (tends to be the most wasteful because it uses more IP addresses than are necessary)  
🗑
in FLSM how does a network get subnet part of IP address   gets allocated portion of its provider ISP' address space  
🗑
example of ISP allocates out its address   slide 62  
🗑
problem exercise   slid 63  
🗑
how to solve the solution use subnet mask table   slide 64-69  
🗑
what is a routing table   summary of all known networks  
🗑
how do routers find the shortest path   routers share routing tables to find new paths and locate the best paths to destinations  
🗑
where is supernetting used   it's used in hierarchical addressing to simplify or summarize network routing decisions with the goal of min processing overheads when matching routes  
🗑
what happens when there is no supernetting   the router will share all routes from routing tables as they are / with supernetting it will summarize them before sharing which reduces the size of routing updates  
🗑
what does hierarchical addressing allow   allows for efficient advertisement of routing information  
🗑
hierarchical addressing example   slide 72-73  
🗑
how does an ISP get blocked of addresses   ICANN - internet corporation for assigned names and numbers  
🗑
what does ICANN help with   allocates IP addresses, through 5 regional registries (RR) / manages DNS root zone, including delegation of individual TLD  
🗑
what does ICANN allocate   allocates last chunk of IPv4 addresses to RRs in 2011  
🗑
what's the purpose of NAT   helps IPv4 address space exhaustion  
🗑
how many bit space does IPv6 have   128-bit address space  
🗑
what does NAT stand for   network address translation  
🗑
what is NAT used for   all devices in local network share just one IPv4 address as far as outside world is concerned  
🗑
how does NAT work for connected devices   all devices in local network have 32-bit addresses in a private IP address space that can only be used in local network  
🗑
what are some advantages of NAT   just one IP address needed from provider ISP for all devices / can change addresses of host in local network without notifying outside world / can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local network  
🗑
another advantage of NAT   security = devices inside local net not directly addressable, visible by outside world  
🗑
how do you implement NAT   router must have outgoing datagrams = which replace (source IP address, port#) of every outgoing datagram to (NAT IP address, new port#)  
🗑
what do remote clients and servers do when NAT is implemented   they respond using NAT IP address, new port# as destination address  
🗑
what happens in a NAT translation table   every source IP address, new port# to NAT IP address, new port# translation pair  
🗑
what happens when datagrams are incoming   replace NAT IP address, new port# in destination fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding source IP address, port# stored in NAT table  
🗑
how has NAT been controversial   routers should only process up to layer 3 / address shortage should be solved by IPv6 / violates end-to-end argument / NAT traversal = what if client wants to connect to server behind NAT  
🗑
why is NAT here to stay   extensively used in home and institutional nets 4G/5G cellular nets  
🗑
what is the initial motivation for IPv6   32-bit IPv4 address space would be completely allocated  
🗑
what are two other additional motivations for IPv6   speed processing/forwarding = 40-byte fixed length header / enable different network-layer treatment of flows  
🗑
what's the priority of a IPv6 datagram   identify priority among datagrams in flow  
🗑
what is a flow label in an IPv6 datagram   identify datagrams in flow (concept of flow not well defined)  
🗑
how many bits does the source and destination address in IPv6 datagram   128-bit  
🗑
what's different with IPv6 compared to IPv4   no checksum (to speed processing at routers) / no fragmentation/reassembly / no options (available as upper-layer, next-header protocol at router)  
🗑
how will network operate with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 routers   tunneling  
🗑
what's tunneling   IPv6 datagram carried as payload in IPv4 datagram among IPv4 routers (packet within a packet)  
🗑
where is tunneling extensively used   4G/5G  
🗑
what can't all routers do   can't be upgraded simultaneously from IPv4 to IPv6  
🗑
IPv4 network connection two IPv6 routers diagram   slide 84-87 (IPv4 = root)  
🗑
where is IPv6 adopted from   google = 30% of clients access services via IPv6 / NIST = 1/3 of all US government domains are IPv6 capable  
🗑
how long has IPv6 been deployed for   25 years and counting (application-level changes in last 25 years = www, social media, streaming media, gaming, telepresence)  
🗑
