TASK 1: IPv4 Fragmentation: The internet is a collection of many different networks (autonomous systems), each having their own routing and packet processing capabilities. IPv4 is a protocol that allows these different autonomous systems to communicate and provide a mechanism to fragment and reassemble packets if needed. When we connect networks together they might have different maximum packet sizes that can go through the network. Different networks have different maximum packet sizes often known as MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit). The following table lists the MTU of several common network types (from RFC 1191 - MTU Path Discovery, Nov 1990): Network Architecture MTU in Bytes 802.3 Ethernet 1500 B 4 Mb Token Ring 4464 B 16 Mb Token Ring 17914 …show more content…

Simpler to configure on larger networks. No bandwidth overhead (updates are not shared between routers). Will dynamically choose a different (or better) route if a link goes down. Complete control on how traffic is routed. Ability to load balance between multiple links. Disadvantages of Static and Dynamic routing: Static routing Dynamic routing Infrastructure changes must be manually adjusted Updates are shared between routers, thus consuming bandwidth No “dynamic” fault tolerance if a link goes down Routing protocols put additional load on router CPU/RAM Impractical on large network The choice of the “best route” is in the hands of the routing protocol, and not the network administrator RIP (Routing Information Protocol) Version 1: RIP is a dynamic, distance vector routing protocol and was developed for smaller IP based networks used to route data packets by finding the best hop count between a router and a destination. • Distance Vector Protocol • Periodic updates – updates other routers by multicasting the entire routing table to all routers every 30 seconds • Possible loops in a complex topology • Uses hop count as metric • Maximum hop count is 15 • Administrative distance is
