Q

How does a IP routing algorithm work?

A

1: check if A and B is on the same network. If yes deliver directly
2: Consult routing table. If entry exists, forward to next hop
3: If there isnt an entry in routing table, Send to A’s default gateway
4: If there is no default gateway, discard

Q

What are the different classes and their leading bits in IPv4?

A

A = 0 is the initial BIT. Initial BYTE identifies the network. Remaining 3 BYTES identifies the host
B = 10 is the initial bits. 2 initial Bytes identify the network, remaining 2 identifies the host
C = 110 is the initial bits. 3 bytes identifies the network, and one the host.
D = 1110 is the initial bits, used for multicast addressing.
E = 1111 unused

Example of getting the network address on which a host is located IP address of host = 192.168.1.100 subnet mask = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000
IP address of host = 192.168.1.100 aka 11000000.10101000.00000001.01100100 subnet mask = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 Network address= 11000000.10101000.00000001.01100000 aka 192.168.1.96 Thus network address of the host 192.168.1.100 is 192.168.1.96
26
What is supernetting?
Combining network addresses to form a bigger network
27
Why is supernetting needed?
To speed up routing
28
How does IPv4 routing work?
1: If A&M = R&M (A = address, M = Mask, R = router) Send directly via data link layer. (If they are on the same network send via data link layer) 2: If there exists a triplet (Nj, Mj, Hj) (N = network, M = mask for that network, H = Address of next hop) send the packet to Hj. ( If there is a entry in the routing tab send it to H (on the same local network) 3: If no entries in Routing table send to default gateway. Deliver directly with default gateway if possible 4: if no default gateway discard it
29
Does IP allow a route to be specified?
Yes aka source routing
30
What is the difference between strict and loose source routing?
Strict = exact route is specified Loose = Hops in source route are merely nodes that should be visited along the way
31
Routing algorithm steps:
1: has the datagram reached it destination? 2: Check if the destination is directly connected to current router ( if yes use layer 2 to deliver) 3: Determine next hop that may be reachable (RIP /OSPF)
32
A router is sometimes referred to as a .......
Multi-homed host
33
What does arp stand for?
Address Resolution Protocol
34
What are the most common way to clearly identify networks?
CIDR notation or network address + netmask
35
What is PPPoE and what does it do?
Point to point protocol over ethernet It creates a virtual link between the customer and the ISP
36
What is another name for wireless LAN?
Wifi
37
What is PDU and what does it do?
Packet data unit. It places a restriction on the size of data it is able to carry by layer 2.
38
What is the Max PDU size of Ethernet?
1500 octets
39
What do you call it when the PDU is larger than the max PDU of layer 2?
Fragmentation. Split IP datagram into smaller parts
40
How do you know if a IP datagram is fragmented?
It is indicated by the Fragment Offset field in each fragment's IP header
41
If a IP datagram is fragmented how do you identify which part the fragment belongs to?
By viewing the Identification field (all fragments will use the same number that the original datagram used)
42
What does the Do not fragment flag indicate?
That a datagram should never be fragmented
43
What are the 5 RIRs (Regional Internet Registries)?
AfriNIC ARIN APNIC LACNIC RIPE NCC
44
What do RIRs do?
Manage the allocation and registration of IP addresses
45
What is the general purpose of ICMP?
Send control + status messages
45
What does ICMP stand for?
Internet Control Message Protocol
46
What do ICMP packets consist of and how are they "transported"?
A number and maybe a payload. They are sent as the payload of a IP packet
47
Which command is the primary tool in network troubleshooters?
the ping command
48
How can you see which route is being used to any destination?
By using the traceroute command (or tracert on Windows)
49
What is ARP and what is it used for?
Address Resolution Protocol. Used to determine the layer 2 address of a node, given its IP address
50
What are layer 2 addresses called?
MAC addresses (Media Access Control)
51
What is unicasting?
A one-to-one communication method.
52
What is multicasting?
Send a message to a specific group of devices
53
What is broadcasting?
Sending a message to all the nodes on a network
54
Difference between multicasting and broadcasting?
With multicasting the nodes that are not interesting will just ignore
55
What is IGMP and what does it do?
Internet Group Management Protocol. Enables hosts and routers to communicate and establish which hosts are interested in receiving multicast traffic
56
What is NAT?
Network address translation
57
What does a NAT router do?
Receives outgoing traffic. Forwards request to node on the outside.
58
What is the problem with NAT?
Remembering which internal nodes sent what to what external nodes
58
When is a ingress router used?
When traffic enters a network
59
When is a egress router used?
When traffic leaves a network
60
How does the IPv6 header differ from IPv4?
TTL is replaced by Hop limit but still does the same thing The Version field changed from 4 to 6 And it has payload length
61
How many bits is used in IPv6?
128
62
How does IPv6 separate the numbers and what is suppression??
Separated with a : Suppressions = 2011:0000:0000:0000:0123 to 2011::0123 or 2011::123 (no leading 0s in hex numbers)
63
What is the routing prefix in IPv6?
Similar to the network portion in IPv4
64
What is the Interface identifier in IPv6?
Similar to IPv4 host number
65
Difference between MAC addresses and IPv6?
IPv6 has a intended scope. Leading 0's are not supressed MAC
66
What is anycasting in IPv6?
Send a message to any of a group of nodes (a group within a group?)
67
How is multicast addresses differentiated?
By the special prefix ff00::/8 (It is a class D)
68
What is the loopback address in IPv6? (127.0.0.1 in IPv4)
::1/128
69
What address does a device use that doesnt have a address yet?
::0/128
70
Which prefix is reserved for site-local addresses in IPv6?
fc00::/7
71
What prefix is reserved for Unique local addresses?
fd00::/8
72
If IPv4 can address 16 unique hosts, how many number of networks can IPv6 Address and how many hosts per network?
16 = 2^4 thus 4 bits Number of networks = (2*4)^2 and the same for hosts
73
What is used to assign addresses to individual interfaces
DHCP
74
By who is routable IPv6 prefixes assigned?
IANA
75
Who manages routable prefixes?
RIRs
76
What is tunnelling?
Encapsulating one protocol's packet as the payload of another protocol
77
What is ATM?
Asynchronous Transfer Mode. Layer 1-3. Usually used by telecommunications providers
78
How many bytes is in A ATM packet and what is it made up of?
53 bytes 5 bytes = header 48 bytes = payload
79
When is ATM path determined?
Before data transmission starts
