11001000 00010111 00010010 10101101 This is the first destination address in the list that maps to output port 0. 11001000 00010111 00011000 00001101 This is the first destination address in the list that maps to output port 1. 11001000 00010111 00011001 11001101 This is the first destination address in the list that maps to output port 2. 10001000 11100000 00011000 00001101 This is the first destination address in the list that maps to output port 3. 11001000 00010111 00011000 11001111 This is the second destination address in the list that maps to output port 1. 11001000 00010111 00010001 01010101 This is the second destination address in the list that maps to output port 0. 11001000 00010111 00011101 01101101 This is the second destination address in the list that maps to output port 2.

How to forward to a border router? Consider the network shown below. Suppose AS1, AS2, AS3, and AS4 are running OSPF for their intra-AS routing protocol and that all links have a weight of 1. Initially suppose there is no link between AS2 and AS4. Once router 1d learns about destination x, it will need to install a forwarding table entry to x. Indicate which one of the statements below are true.

1d will forward along z1 since OSPF has computed the path to 1c is via z1.

Perform the matching below to indicate the datagram field value and type at point (b).

At point (b), the larger (red, encapsulating) datagram an IP version field in the datagram of: IPv4 At point (b), the larger (red, encapsulating) datagram has a source IP address of host:  B At point (b), the larger (red, encapsulating) datagram has a destination IP address of host:  E At point (b), the smaller (blue, encapsulated) datagram has a source IP address of host:  A At point (b), the smaller (blue, encapsulated) datagram has a destination IP address version of:  IPv6

What type of routing? Match the name of a general approach to routing with characteristics of that approach.

Centralized, global routing. All routers have complete topology, and link cost information. Decentralized routing. An iterative process of computation, exchange of informatoin with neighbors. Routers may initially only know link costs to directly-attached neighbors. Static routing. Routes change slowly over time. Dynamic routing. Routing changes quickly over time.

Best effort service. Which of the following quality-of-service guarantees are part of the Internet's best-effort service model? Check all that apply.

None of the other services listed here are part of the best-effort service model. Evidently, best-effort service really means no guarantees at all!

(a) Suppose we want to implement the following rule: r2 should act as a firewall, only allowing TCP traffic into the 22.33/16 network from any network. Specify a single flow table row entry to implement this rule, indicating the column entries for the row below. The * is a wildcard match, which matches everything.

In the "source IP" column, the flow table entry should be: * In the "dest. IP" column, the flow table entry should be: 22.33/16 In the "protocol" column, the flow table entry should be: TCP In the "action" column, the flow table entry should be: forward(3)

Path advertisement and policy (Part 3). Again, suppose a provider network only wants to carry traffic to/from its customer networks (i.e., to provide no transit service), and customer networks only want to carry traffic to/from itself. Suppose C has advertised path Cy to x. To implement this policy, to which of the following networks would network x advertise the path xCy?

None of these other networks

(b) Suppose we want to implement the following behavior, and that the default configuration is that all traffic from 22.33/16 should be allowed to be forwarded by r2 to the outside network. However, we also want to implement a higher priority rule (which would be earlier in the table, for example) so that users within the 22.33/16 network are never allowed to connect to an external email server on port 25. Specify the flow table row entries to implement this rule, by indicating the column entries below. The * is a wildcard match, which matches everything - you should use * over more specific answers whenever possible.

In the "source IP" column, the flow table entry should be: 22.33/16 In the "dest. IP" column, the flow table entry should be: * In the "dest port" column, the flow table entry should be: 25 In the "action" column, the flow table entry should be: drop

(b) Suppose we want to implement the following behavior, and that the default configuration is that all traffic from 22.33/16 should be allowed to be forwarded by r2 to the outside network. However, we also want to implement a higher priority rule (which would be earlier in the table, for example) so that users within the 22.33/16 network are never allowed to connect to an external web server on port 80. Specify the flow table row entries to implement this rule, by indicating the column entries below. The * is a wildcard match, which matches everything - you should use * over more specific answers whenever possible.

In the "source IP" column, the flow table entry should be: 22.33/16 In the "dest. IP" column, the flow table entry should be: * In the "dest port" column, the flow table entry should be: 80 In the "action" column, the flow table entry should be: drop

(c) Suppose we want to implement least-cost-path forwarding, so that packets from source network 22.33/16 to destination networks 128.119/16 and 53.106/16 are forwarded on the direct link from r2 to each of these networks. Specify the flow table rule to implement this rule for forwarding to destination 128.116/16, by indicating the column entries below. [Hint: you should not assume that datagrams arriving to r2 on interface 3 necessarily have a source IP address of 22.33/16, since as we learned it is easy to "spoof" an IP addresses; so your rule should specify that only datagrams with a source IP address in 22.33.16 should be forwarded out of the network - a process known as "egress filtering".) The * is a wildcard match, which matches everything - you should use * over more specific answers whenever possible.

In the "source IP" column, the flow table entry should be: 22.33/16 In the "dest. IP" column, the flow table entry should be: 128.119/16 In the "dest port" column, the flow table entry should be: * In the "action" column, the flow table entry should be: forward(2)

Routing within or among networks. Match the terms "interdomain routing" and intradomain routing" with their definitions. Recall that in Internet parlance, an "AS" refers to "Autonomous System" - a network under the control of a single organization.

Interdomain routing. Routing among different ASes ("networks"). Intradomain routing. Routing among routers within same AS ("network").

Plug-and-play. What is meant by saying that DHCP is a "plug and play" protocol?

No manual configuration is needed for the host to join the network.

Consider the scenario shown below. The figure below shows the (old) DV at e (before receiving the new DVs from its neighbors) as well as the DVs being sent from b, d, and f. In the previous quesiton you computed the new DV at ate. Now suppose that all network nodes have iterated and completed all of the DV calculations, i.e, that the algorithm has converged and quiesced. Suppose now that sometime after the algorithm has converged, the link between e and f goes down. Will node e send out a new DV to its neighbors? Pick a response below that best answers this question.

No. Node e's distance vector does not change when the link between e and f goes down (since e's shortest path to f did not use this direct link between e and f), so e will not send out a new DV.

Approaches towards implementing the control plane. Match the name of the approach towards implementing a control plane with a description of how this approach works.

Per-router control plane. Individual routing algorithm components - with a component operating in each and every router - interact with each other in the control plane. The individual routing algorithm component executing in a given router computes the local forwarding table. Software-defined networking (SDN). A (typically) remote controller gathers information from routers, and then computes and installs the forwarding tables in routers.

eBGP, iBGP, OSPF? Consider the network shown below. Suppose AS1, AS2, AS3, and AS4 are running OSPF for their intra-AS routing protocol. Suppose eBGP and iBGP are used for the inter-AS routing protocol. Initially suppose there is no link between AS2 and AS4. Indicate the protocol by which a router learns about the network prefix x, which is attached to AS4.

Router 1c learns about prefix x from which protocol? eBGP Router 1d learns about prefix x from which protocol? iBGP

eBGP, iBGP, OSPF? Consider the network shown below. Suppose AS1, AS2, AS3, and AS4 are running OSPF for their intra-AS routing protocol. Suppose eBGP and iBGP are used for the inter-AS routing protocol. Initially suppose there is no link between AS2 and AS4. Indicate the protocol by which a router learns about the network prefix x, which is attached to AS4.

Router 3c learns about prefix x from which protocol? eBGP Router 3a learns about prefix x from which protocol? iBGP

What's a "good" path? What is the definition of a "good" path for a routing protocol? Chose the best single answer.

Routing algorithms typically work with abstract link weights that could represent any of, or combinations of, all of the other answers.

SDN Layers. Consider the SDN layering shown below. Match each layer name below with a layer label (a), (b) or (c) as shown in the diagram.

SDN Controller (network operating system)(b) SDN-controlled switches (c) Network-control applications (a)

Match+action in Openflow 1.0. Consider the figure below that shows the generalized forwarding table in a router. Recall that a * represents a wildcard value. Now consider an arriving datagram with the IP source and destination address fields indicated below. For each source/destination IP address pair, indicate which rule is matched. Note: assume that a rule that is earlier in the table takes priority over a rule that is later in the table and that a datagram that matches none of the table entries is dropped.

Source: 1.2.56.32 Destination:128.116.40.186 Rule 2, with action drop Source: 65.92.15.27 Destination: 3.4.65.76 Rule 1, with action forward(2) Source: 10.1.2.3 Destination: 7.8.9.2 Rule 3, with action send to controller Source: 10.1.34.56 Destination: 54.72.29.90 Nomatch to any rule.

The Internet hourglass. What is meant when it is said that the Internet has an "hourglass" architecture? See the picture below if you are unfamiliar with an "hourglass".

The Internet protocol stack has a "thin waist" in the middle, like an hourglass. The Internet Protocol (IP) is the only network-layer protocol in the middle layer of the stack. Every other layer has multiple protocols at that layer.

Packet dropping. Suppose a datagram is switched through the switching fabric and arrives to its appropriate output to find that there are no free buffers. In this case:

The packet will either be dropped or another packet will be removed (lost) from the buffer to make room for this packet, depending on policy. But the packet will definitely not be be sent back to the input port.

Network Address Translation (a). Consider the following scenario in which host 10.0.0.1 is communicating with an external web server at IP address 128.119.40.186. The NAT table shows the table entry associated with this TCP flow. What are the source and destination IP address and port numbers at point A?

The source IP address is: 10.0.0.1 The destination IP address is: 128.119.40.186 The source port number is: 2020 The destination port number is: 80

Network Address Translation (b). Consider the following scenario in which host 10.0.0.1 is communicating with an external web server at IP address 128.119.40.186. The NAT table shows the table entry associated with this TCP flow. What are the source and destination IP address and port numbers at point B?

The source IP address is: 138.76.29.7 The destination IP address is: 128.119.40.186 The source port number is: 5051 The destination port number is: 80

Purpose of DHCP. What is the purpose of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol?

To obtain an IP address for a host attaching to an IP network.

The IPv4 header. Match each of the following fields in the IP header with its description, function or use.

Version field This field contains the IP protocol version number. Type-of-service field This field contains ECN and differentiated service bits. Fragmentation offset field This field is used for datagram fragmentation/reassembly. Time-to-live field The value in this field is decremented at each router; when it reaches zero, the packet must be dropped. Header checksum field This field contains the Internet checksum of this datagram's header fields. Upper layer field This field contains the "protocol number" for the transport-layer protocol to which this datagram's payload will be demultiplexed - UDP or TCP, for example. Payload/data field This field contains a UDP or TCP segment, for example. Datagram length field. This field indicates the total number of bytes in datagram.

Subnet addressing. Consider the three subnets below, each in the larger 128.119.160/24 network. The following questions are concerned with subnet addressing. Answer each question by selecting a matching answer. Each answer can be used to answer only one question.

What is the maximum number of hosts possible in the larger 128.119.160/24 network? 256 How many bits are needed to be able to address all of the host in subnet A? 6 Suppose that subnet A has a CIDRized subnet address range of 128.119.160.128/26 (hint: 128 is 1000 0000 in binary); Subnet B has an CIDRied subnet address range of 128.119.160.64/26. We now want a valid CIDRized IP subnet address range for subnet C of the form 128.119.160.x/26. What is a valid value of x? 0

Bellman Ford Algorithm - a change in DV (1, part 4). Consider the network below, and suppose that at t=0, the link between nodes b and c goes down. And so at t=0, node b recomputes its distance vector (DV) and sends out its new DV (as needed). At t=1 this new DV is received at b's neighbors, who then perform their calculation and send out their new DVs (as needed); these new DVs arrive at their neighbors at t=2, and so on. What is the last time in this network at which a DV calculation will take place as a result of the link change at t=0?

an essentially infinite amount of time; this is the count-to-infinity problem

Dijkstra's link-state routing algorithm (Part 1). Consider the graph shown below and the use of Dijkstra's algorithm to compute a least cost path from a to all destinations. Suppose that nodes b and d have already been added to N'. What is the next node to be added to N' (refer to the text or page 12 of lecture slides for an explanation of notation).

e

Bellman Ford Algorithm - a change in DV (1, part 3). Consider the network below, and suppose that at t=0, the link between nodes g and h goes down. And so at t=0, nodes g and h recompute their DVs. Following this recomputation, to which nodes will h send its new distance vector? (Note: to answer this question, you'll need to know some of the DV entries at g and h at t=0, but hopefully they'll be obvious by inspection).

node h does not send out its distance vector, since none of the least costs have changed to any destination.
