IP Routing

by Howard Berkowitz

Introduction

In its published objectives for the CCNA, Cisco lists five objectives for routing:

e1 - Add the RIP routing protocol to your configuration.

e2 - Add the IGRP routing protocol to your configuration.

e3 - Explain the services of separate and integrated multiprotocol routing.

e4 - List problems that each routing type encounters when dealing with topology changes and describe techniques to reduce the number of these problems.

e5 - Describe the benefits of network segmentation with routers

Closely associated with these objectives are:

d8 - Identify the functions of the TCP/IP transport-layer protocols.

d9 - Identify the functions of the TCP/IP network-layer protocols.

d10 - Identify the functions performed by ICMP.

Previous CCNA Tutorials on the OSI Reference Model and on IP Addressing did discuss this set of objectives, but this paper will give you more insight into them.

You'll find that the forthcoming CCNA Tutorial on LAN Switching will especially complement this paper. Both papers deal with segmenting networks, but this one focuses on doing so with OSI layer 3 routers, while the switching paper concentrates on OSI Layer 2 bridging.

You'll want to put all of these objectives in perspective by understanding how they work. The order of the objectives isn't the best way to learn what is happening.

Perhaps a high-level view will help orient you to this discussion, and also give more advanced readers a guide to the future.

There's No Such Thing as Routing.

Let's begin by discussing what a "router" does. A definition that occasionally shocks people, but actually will prepare you best for modern routing, is that there is no single thing called "routing." Instead, there are two closely related functions, path determination and packet forwarding. Cisco sometimes calls packet forwarding "switching" or "packet switching." Both functions traditionally have been implemented in a single box called a "router," but newer techniques may split them into different processors in the same box, or even different boxes. If you think of a packet taking an automobile journey, path determination is the preparation for travel, the drawing of the map. Packet forwarding is the actual drive, both handling the car in traffic and knowing when to change lanes and which exits to take.

Another, more formal way to look at what a router does, in a manner that makes it much more comparable to bridges and switches, is to think of it as a relay. While the term "relay" is not widely used in the industry, the definition here comes from little-known extensions to the original OSI model, extensions that dealt specifically with routing.

Relaying

Sales information and the trade press have thoroughly confused the terminology for devices that relay frames and packets inside networks. To bring some clarity to the issue, let's do away with the terms router and switch. Instead, we have relays that operate at different layers. A relay accepts a protocol data unit (PDU) associated with its layer on incoming interface(s), and either drops the PDU or forwards it out to one or more incoming interfaces. "Pure routers" are network layer relays. "Pure bridges (or LAN switches)" are data link layer relays. In this paper, we are concerned with layer 3 relays. What the industry historically calls "routers" determine paths based on layer 3 information. What the industry historically calls "bridges" determine paths based on layer 2 information.

Terms for relays do not always fit exactly into the OSI Reference Model, but, in general, the terms used are:

• Application layer relays include the Cisco Protocol Translator, firewalls that examine the application layer, web proxies, etc.

• Transport layer relays include tunneling services used to carry non-native protocols, firewalls that operate at the TCP level (e.g., SOCKS/SSL), and port address translators.

• Network layer relays are routers.

• Data link relays are bridges, LAN switches, and WAN switches.

• Physical layer relays are repeaters.
