Key Terms 469 protocol stack A set of related communications protocols that operate together and, as a group, address communication at some or all of the seven layers of the OSI refer- ence model. Not every protocol stack covers each layer of the model, and often a single protocol in the stack addresses a number of layers at once. TCP/IP is a typical protocol stack. routed protocol Any network protocol that provides enough information in its net- work layer address to allow a packet to be forwarded from one host to another host based on the addressing scheme. router A network-layer device that uses one or more metrics to determine the optimal path along which network traffic should be forwarded. Routers forward packets from one network to another based on network-layer information contained in routing updates. Occasionally called a gateway (although this definition of gateway is becoming increasingly outdated). Routing Information Protocol (RIP) An IGP supplied with UNIX BSD systems. The most common IGP in the Internet. RIP uses hop count as a routing metric. routing metric A method by which a routing algorithm determines that one route is better than another. This information is stored in routing tables and is sent in routing updates. Metrics include bandwidth, communication cost, delay, hop count, load, MTU, path cost, and reliability. Sometimes simply called a metric. routing protocol A protocol that accomplishes routing through the implementation of a specific routing algorithm. Examples of routing protocols are IGRP, OSPF, and RIP. routing table A table stored in a router or some other internetworking device that keeps track of routes to particular network destinations and, in some cases, metrics associated with those routes. subnet address A portion of an IP address that is specified as the subnetwork by the subnet mask. subnet mask A 32-bit address mask used in IP to indicate the bits of an IP address that are used for the subnet address. Sometimes simply called a mask. subnetwork 1. In IP networks, a network sharing a particular subnet address. Sub- networks are networks arbitrarily segmented by a network administrator to provide a multilevel, hierarchical routing structure while shielding the subnetwork from the addressing complexity of attached networks. Sometimes called a subnet. 2. In OSI net- works, a collection of ESs and ISs under the control of a single administrative domain and using a single network access protocol. 1102.book Page 469 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM 470 Chapter 8: Routing Fundamentals and Subnets Check Your Understanding Complete all the review questions to test your understanding of the topics and con- cepts in this chapter.

This chapter describes how the transport layer regulates the flow of information from source to destination reliably and accurately. The primary characteristics of the transport layer are discussed, including the following: ■ The transport layer data stream is a logical connection between the endpoints of a network. ■ End-to-end control and reliability are provided by sliding windows, sequencing numbers, and acknowledgments. ■ Layer 4 protocols TCP and UDP use port numbers to keep track of different conver- sations that cross the network at the same time, and to pass information to the upper layers. The primary characteristics of the TCP/IP application layer include the following: ■ End-user applications reside at this layer. ■ Commonly used applications include NFS, DNS, ARP, rlogin, talk, FTP, NTP, and traceroute.

UDP, which is covered later, also operates at Layer 4 and provides con- nectionless transport services. However, the primary protocol operating at this layer is connection-oriented TCP. Its main function is to transport and regulate the flow of information from source to destination reliably and accurately. The primary duties of the transport layer are to provide end-to-end control, to provide flow control via slid- ing windows, and to ensure reliability via sequencing numbers and acknowledgments. To understand reliability and flow control, think of a person who speaks really fast. In conversation, the listener might need to ask this person to repeat some words if they are not understood (for reliability) and to speak slowly, so the listener can catch the words (flow control), as shown in Figure 9-1. Figure 9-1 Transport Layer Analogies The transport layer provides transport services from the source host to the destina- tion host. It constitutes a logical connection between the endpoints of the network. Transport services segment and reassemble data that is sent by several upper-layer applications onto the same transport layer data stream. This transport layer data stream provides end-to-end transport services. The transport layer data stream is a logical connection between the endpoints of a net- work. The transport layer defines end-to-end connectivity between host applications. Figure 9-2 illustrates the transport layer. 1102.book Page 478 Tuesday, May 20, 2003 2:53 PM . 11 000000.0000 010 1.0 010 0 010 .000 010 11 B. 11 00 010 1. 010 1 011 1.00 011 000 .10 111 000 C. 010 010 11. 10 010 011 .0 011 10 01. 0 011 011 1 D. 11 000000.000 010 10. 010 00 010 .000 010 11 7.
