INTERNETWORKING
Internetworking: connecting networks
together to make an internetwork or an
Internet.

Topics discussed in this section:


Need for Network Layer
Internet as a Datagram Network
Internet as a Connectionless Network

Switching at the network layer in the
Internet uses the datagram approach to
packet switching.
Communication at the network layer in
the Internet is connectionless.

IPv4
The Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the delivery
mechanism used by the TCP/IP protocols.

Example
4.2.1
An IPv4 packet has arrived with the first 8 bits as shown:
01000010
The receiver discards the packet. Why?

Solution
There is an error in this packet. The 4 leftmost bits (0100)
show the version, which is correct （ 4= IPv4, 6= IPv6).
The next 4 bits (0010) show an invalid header length (2 ×
4 = 8). The minimum number of bytes in the header must
be 20. The packet has been corrupted in transmission.

18
Example
4.2.2
In an IPv4 packet, the value of HLEN is 1000 in binary.
How many bytes of options are being carried by this
packet?

Solution
The HLEN value is 8, which means the total number of
bytes in the header is 8 × 4, or 32 bytes. The first 20 bytes
are the base header, the next 12 bytes are the options.

19
Example
4.2.3
In an IPv4 packet, the value of HLEN is 5, and the value
of the total length field is 0x0028. How many bytes of
data are being carried by this packet?

Solution
The HLEN value is 5, which means the total number of
bytes in the header is 5 × 4, or 20 bytes (no options). The
total length is 40 bytes, which means the packet is
carrying 20 bytes of data (40 − 20).

20
Example
4.2.4
An IPv4 packet has arrived with the first few hexadecimal
digits as shown.
0x45000028000100000102 . . .
How many hops can this packet travel before being
dropped? The data belong to what upper-layer protocol?

Solution
To find the time-to-live field, we skip 8 bytes. The time-to-
live field is the ninth byte, which is 01. This means the
packet can travel only one hop. The protocol field is the
next byte (02), which means that the upper-layer protocol
is IGMP.

IPv6
•The network layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol
suite is currently IPv4.
•Although IPv4 is well designed, data communication
has evolved since the inception of IPv4 in the 1970s.
•IPv4 has some deficiencies that make it unsuitable for
the fast-growing Internet.

4.2-4 TRANSITION FROM IPv4 TO IPv6

Because of the huge number of systems on the


Internet, the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 cannot
happen suddenly. It takes a considerable amount of
time before every system in the Internet can move from
IPv4 to IPv6. The transition must be smooth to prevent
any problems between IPv4 and IPv6 systems.
