Definitions
- the present invention relates to communications networking and, more particularly, to a method for configuring logical Internet Protocol (IP) subnetworks over Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based local area networks which support autoconfiguration and mobile hosts.
- IP Internet Protocol
- ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode
- Fig. 1 shows a conventional communications network 100.
- the communications network is the Internet.
- the Internet is composed of a wide area network (WAN) 110 which includes three backbone networks A, B, and C. Connected to the backbone networks A, B, and C of the WAN 110 are access points a,b,c, and d. Connected to each access point a,b,c, and d are subnetworks LI, L2, L3, L4, L5, and L6 which may be local area networks (LANs) or stand alone computers.
- a backbone network A,B, or C is a "transit" network which typically transfers data from one access point a,b,c, or d to another access point .
- Each backbone network includes one or more routers.
- the routers rl-rl5 do not originate or terminate communicated data in an ordinary communication. Rather, the routers rl-rl8 receive communicated data from one node and transmit the data to another node.
- Each access point a, b, c, and d provides access to the WAN 110 for the connected subnetworks L1-L6.
- the access points a,b,c, and d receive communicated data from the subnetworks and transmit the data to another access point a,b,c, and d via the WAN 110.
- the access points receive from the WAN 110 data destined to a subnetwork and transmit such data to the appropriate destination subnetwork.
- the subnetworks include one or more hosts hi - hlO . Hosts may originate or terminate data communications.
- Logical networks or virtual LANS are becoming increasingly important. In a logical network, a particular set of arbitrary hosts may be selected as a closed group. That is, hosts physically located in different subnetworks may be logically connected as a single virtual LAN. This closed group is administered as a logical LAN independent of other groups of hosts. In the Internet arena, these logical LANs are referred to as Logical IP Subnets (LIS) . Typically, an LIS requires manual configuration of each host by LAN administrators of each LAN where a logical LAN host is physically located.
- LIS Logical IP Subnets
- Fig. 2 shows a "Classical IP over ATM" network 200. This protocol is described in M. Laubach, Classical IP and ARP over ATM, Request for Comments 1577, January 1994. The content of this document is incorporated herein by reference.
- Hosts HI, H2, H3, H4, and H5 and routers Rl and R2 are connected to the ATM network 202.
- R1-R2 are organized into logical IP subnetworks (LISs) .
- LISs logical IP subnetworks
- hosts HI and H2 and router Rl are organized into a first LIS 204
- hosts H3 and H4 and routers Rl and R2 are organized into a second LIS 206
- host H5 and router R2 are organized into a third LIS 208.
- An LIS defines an administrative domain. Direct connections may only be established among hosts within the same LIS. For example, in the second LIS 206, direct connections may be established only between hosts H3 and H4, even if these hosts are physically connected to the same ATM network to which other hosts are connected.
- host HI may establish a connection with the router Rl .
- the router Rl may establish a connection with the router R2.
- the router R2 may establish a connection with host H5.
- ATM packets then traverse a path from host HI to router Rl, to router R2, to host H5.
- IP Internet Protocols
- DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
- BOOTP Bootstrap Protocol
- Fig. 3 illustrates an IP network 300 performing autoconfiguration according to the DHCP protocol.
- a host 302 sends to one or more DHCP servers 304A, 304B (which may be physically located, for example, in access points connected to the subnetwork in which the host is physically located) an "address request (DHCP discover) " message (line 306) .
- DHCP discover "address request
- each DHCP server 304 receiving the request proposes a host's 302 IP address via an "address assignment (DHCP offer)" message (line 308) .
- DHCP offer "address assignment
- the host 302 selects an appropriate address from these responses and returns a "DHCP request" message (line 310) to the DHCP server 304A that supplied this address and other connected DHCP servers 304B. That DHCP server then reserves this IP address, and sends a "DHCP ack" message (line 312) back to the requesting host.
- a DHCP server has no predefined table of the relationship between hosts and IP address.
- the DHCP server is assigned a number of IP addresses from a network administrator.
- the DHCP server dynamically determines the address assignments by assigning a next available IP address from those addresses assigned from the Network Administrator.
- the BOOTP protocol is not dynamic.
- the BOOTP protocol is for hosts not having a hard-drive (a diskless host) .
- a network manager sets a translation table between the host's ID or MAC address and its IP address on the BOOTP server.
- the BOOTP server then provides the host with an IP address which has already been set on the translation table prior to the address request.
- Autoconfiguration under IPv6 differs from IPv4 as follows. Both stateless autoconfiguration and stateful configuration are supported. Stateless autoconfiguration allows a host to form a link-local or inter-link scope address using information local to the host or based on prefixes advertised by the routers. In contrast, stateful autoconfiguration needs an autoconfiguration server such as a DHCP server, and the server gives an IP address of a host which requests its IP address. Thus, current autoconfiguration methods determine the relationship between a location (such as a MAC address or link-local address) and an 'IP address. Current autoconfiguration methods, however, do not establish LISs.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an IP network 400 performing mobile IP.
- a number of subnetworks 402, 404, 406 are connected over the Internet via routers 408, 410.
- a first host 412 wishes to send a communication to a second, mobile host 414.
- the mobile host has a home agent 416 connected to its home subnetwork 404.
- a mobile host 414 records its original IP address (here, in subnet 2 404) and moves to another subnetwork 406.
- the mobile host 414 receives a "care-of-address" at its new subnet 406 and informs its home agent 416, located at the mobile host's original subnet 404 of its care-of-address (line 420) .
- the packet is delivered to the home agent (line 422) .
- the home agent 416 When the home agent 416 receives the packet destined to the mobile host 414, it captures the packet and encapsulates the original packet 418 into a new packet 424 addressed to the care-of-address. The home agent 416 sends this encapsulated packet 424 to the mobile host 414 at the care-of-address (line 426) .
- Both mobile IP and autoconfiguration manage the relationship between a host's physical and logical location.
- the current autoconfiguration method does not establish LISs.
- the current IP mobility method makes inefficient use of network resources and bandwidth.
- the present invention provides a method for configuring logical LANs, such as IP subnets.
- the method simultaneously supports autoconfiguration and mobile hosts. These capabilities are supported at the datalink layer, rather than at the network-layer, as in protocols currently in use or under discussion in the Internet community.
- the inventive method may be used to reduce the consumption of network resources, improve delay times, and permit enhanced privacy for mobile hosts.
- the present invention provides a method for connecting a host to a logical LAN.
- the host is attached to a datalink layer for a LAN to which it is being physically connected, the host is assigned a network layer address identifying the desired logical LAN.
- both location information are included in an ATM-LAN, for example.
- logical addresses e.g., IP addresses
- This logical network configuration on an ATM-LAN may be classified into three categories:
- Autoconfiguration in the present invention is the automatic assignment of a host's IP address when the host is attached to the network.
- An autoconfiguration server may provide the address assignment .
- a host can offer or declare its preferred IP subnet in some fashion when it is attached to the network.
- Semi-autoconfiguration has two distinct subtypes --select-type and request-type.
- select-type semi- autoconfiguration the user may select an IP address which establishes the host in a desired LIS.
- request-type semi- autoconfiguration the host specifies a particular IP subnet ID in an initial IP address request.
- Two types of host mobility are disclosed: a simple mobility solution and a privacy enhanced mobility.
- IP address care-of-address
- a host located anywhere may belong to any LIS it wants to join if the LIS is defined on the ATM-LAN.
- This simple solution allows the sending host to determine the physical location (ATM address) of the receiving host.
- the host registers its home location at the switch connected to its new location.
- the switch at the new location informs the first switch that the host is located at the new location.
- the first switch receives a communication addressed to the host, it generates a crank- back packet indicating the host's new location and the communication is resent addressed to the switch connected to the new location. Because the sending host never learns the mobile host's location (only the connected switch learns of the new location) , the mobile host's location remains private.

- Autoconfiguration and mobile IP may be considered methods relating location information (e.g., ATM addresses) and logical addresses (e.g., IP addresses) .
- location information e.g., ATM addresses
- logical addresses e.g., IP addresses
- both ATM and IP addresses may be treated from a logical network perspective.
- the present invention permits a host to be connected to a logical LAN, such as an LIS, by connecting the host to a datalink-layer protocol network, such as an ATM network, and at the time of connection, assigning to the host a network layer address, such as an IP address, identifying the desired logical LAN.
- This logical network configuration on an ATM-LAN may be classified into three categories: (1) autoconfiguration;
- Autoconfiguration in the present invention is the automatic assignment of a host's IP address when the host is attached to the network.
- An autoconfiguration server (ACS) may provide the address assignment .
- Semi-autoconfiguration in the present invention is a procedure in which a host may request an IP address from an ACS and request that this address include a particular IP subnet ID.
- IP subnet IDs are assigned by an enterprise (such as a business or other enterprise) according to the host's user's department (e.g., sales, accounting, etc.) .
- the host may request that its IP address include an IP subnet ID belonging to the appropriate department.
- Two types of semi-autoconfiguration are described: select-type semi-autoconfiguration and request-type semi-autoconfiguration.
- a user may receive proposed IP addresses from a number of ACSs.
- the host may manually select the IP address having the appropriate IP address for the IP subnet in which it desires to be included and other optional information, such as domain name.
- an IP address request message sent to an ACS includes some optional information ("hints") that describes the IP subnet ID belonging to the group which the host wants to join.
- hints some optional information that describes the IP subnet ID belonging to the group which the host wants to join.
- host mobility may be provided by the arbitrary mapping of IP and ATM addresses.
- the host may record its IP address (and other information such as the IP addresses of its file servers) and may move to a different, arbitrary location while retaining its IP address.
- the mapping between IP and ATM addresses is arbitrary. Therefore, no care-of-address is needed and the original IP address may be used.
- a network 500 includes a host 502 connected to one or more servers, such as DHCP Server 1 504 and DHCP Server 2 506, via an ATM network 508.
- the host 502 includes a network driver device 510, which transfers data between its network interface (i.e., ATM interface) and its operating system and its application program.
- Each server registers its ATM address to an ATM group address of an IP autoconfiguration server (ACS) . After this, hosts may access an ACS via the pre-assigned ATM group address.
- ACS IP autoconfiguration server
- a host may be connected to a logical LAN, such as an LIS when it is connected to a network on the datalink-layer (e.g., ATM, Ethernet, MAC) .
- a network on the datalink-layer e.g., ATM, Ethernet, MAC
- the host may be assigned a network layer address, such as an IP address, identifying it as part of a desired logical LAN.
- the method is preferably performed in an ATM-LAN as follows: 1.
- One or more ACSs are deployed on an ATM Group address assigned exclusively to the IP autoconfiguration service within the desired ATM- scope (e.g., the ATM protocol region of the network) .
- the host 502 When the host 502 is attached to the ATM-scope, the host contacts the ACSs via the driver (line 512) . This may be done as follows : a. In IPv6, the host 502 accesses an ACS by sending an IP "address request" to an IP multicast address for an ACS with a certain
- IP-scope such as intra-link IP-scope (e.g., the IP protocol region of the network) .
- the device driver 510 translates the message into an ATM call set-up message destined to the ACS in the ATM-scope using the ATM group address assigned to the IP autoconfiguration service.
- IPv4 the host accesses an ACS using a restricted IP broadcast address, with the User
- UDP Datagram Protocol
- the call is set up and the message reaches all ACSs within the ATM-scope (line 514) .
- Each ACS 504, 506 proposes a particular IP address for the host 502 (line 516) .
- an ACS may assign to the host an IP address having a subnet ID previously used by the host.
- the host 502 automatically and without user input selects one of the proposed IP addresses according to a predetermined protocol.
- the host 502 may select the IP address with the subnet ID previously used by the host.
- the host then sends a "DHCP request" message to the ACS server that proposed the selected address (line 518) .
- the ACS server 506 sends "DHCP ack" signal to the host 502 (line 520) .
- the host 502 uses the selected IP address as its own.
- the host 502 is registered with an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) server.
- ARP Address Resolution Protocol
- ARP is a protocol for translating an IP address into a datalink layer address such as an ATM, MAC, or Ethernet address.
- This registration may be done in a number of ways. A first way is for the host to register itself with the ARP server. A second way is when the ACS assigns an IP address to a host, the ACS registers the relationship between the new IP address assignment and the ATM address to the ARP server.
- a third way is for the ARP server to poll each ACS in predetermined time intervals.
- An example of the inventive autoconfiguration method is as follows. Assume a host is to be connected to the Internet.
- the host is a workstation for a salesperson in a sales department of a company having sales offices spread over a large geographic area.
- the host previously had an IP address connected to an LIS of hosts in the sales department of the company.
- the inventive method provides for the selection of an IP address which will connect the host to an LIS between hosts in the sales department of the company, regardless of the hosts' physical location.
- the inventive method provides autoconfiguration which may establish an LIS without manually configuring each host to be included in the LIS.
- Semi-autoconfiguration In semi-autoconfiguration, a host can offer or declare its preferred IP subnet in some fashion when it is attached to the network. Semi-autoconfiguration has two distinct subtypes -- select-type and request-type.
- a network 600 includes a host 602 connected to one or more servers, such as DHCP Server 1 604 and DHCP Server 2 606, via an ATM network 608.
- the host 602 includes a network driver device 610, which transfers data between its network interface (i.e., ATM interface) and its operating system and its application program.
- Each server registers its ATM address to an ATM group address of an IP autoconfiguration server. After this, hosts may access an autoconfiguration server via the pre-assigned ATM group address.
- select-type autoconfiguration the host requests an address from at least one server on the datalink layer.
- Each server receiving the request proposes a network layer address.
- the user manually selects one of the proposed network Layer addresses according to the address of the desired logical LAN.
- the method is preferably performed in an ATM-LAN as follows:
- the host user manually selects any of the proposed IP addresses offered.
- the host then sends a "DHCP discover” message to the ACS server that proposed the selected address (line 618) .
- the ACS sarver 606 sends a "DHCP ack" message to the host 602 (line 620) .
- the host 602 uses the selected IP address as its own and is registered with an ARP server.
- the user may select an IP address which establishes the host in a desired LIS.
- the host is a workstation for a salesperson in the company described above.
- This salesperson may select a proposed IP address which connects the host to the desired LIS (for example, an LIS connecting geographically separated hosts of a company's sales department) .
- a network 700 includes a host 702 connected to one or more servers, such as DHCP Server 1 704, DHCP Server 2 706, and ARP server 708 via an ATM network 710.
- the host 702 includes a network driver device 712, which transfers data between its network interface (i.e., ATM interface) and its operating system and its application program.
- Each server registers its ATM address to an ATM group address of an IP autoconfiguration server. After this, hosts may access an autoconfiguration server via the pre-assigned ATM group address.
- the host 702 specifies a particular logical LAN (e.g., IP subnet ID) in the initial network layer address request.
- the host preferably determines the network layer (e.g., IP) address of an ACS in the desired network layer logical LAN (e.g., IP subnet) and establishes a connection with this ACS.
- the network layer address e.g., IP
- the datalink e.g., ATM
- the method is preferably performed in an ATM-LAN as follows:
- the host 702 determines the IP subnet address for the desired LIS and generates an "address request" message having a destination IP address which is the IP broadcast address for the desired logical IP subnet and whose port number is that of the ACS.
- the device driver 712 creates an ARP request packet 714 having a resolving IP address that is the IP broadcast address of the subnet and an option field indicating the ACS service, depending on the port number supplied. This message is sent to the ATM group address assigned to the ARP service (line 716) .
- the ARP server resolves the ATM address and recognizes the IP subnet and that ACS service is requested, and replies with the ATM group address for the appropriate ACS performing the autoconfiguration service (line 718) .
- the host then sends a "DHCP discover” message to the ACS server indicated by the ARP server (line 720) .
- the ACS server then reserves an IP address for the host, and sends a "DHCP offer" message (line 722) back to the requesting host.
- the host then sends a "DHCP request" message to the ACS server (line 724) .
- the ACS server then sends a "DHCP ack" message to the host (line 726) .
- the host 702 uses the selected IP address as its own.
- the host 702 is registered with an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) server.
- ARP Address Resolution Protocol
- the method is preferably performed-in an ATM-LAN as follows:
- the host 702 generates an "address request" message having a destination IP address which is a well- known multicast address assigned to the ACS service.
- IP subnet ID a region address for a source route using the routing header extension of IPv6.
- Source routing is included in the IETF IPv6 specification.
- source routing the sending host declares the intermediate nodes the packet will transverse to arrive at the destination. ) '
- the device driver 712 recognizes the destination IP address is a region address, the device driver looks up the next address pointed by the routing header.
- this address is the well-known ACS multicast address, it creates an ARP request packet 714 and sends it as in the IPv4 case.
- IP address for the LIS to which it desires to be connected is the IP address for the LIS to which it desires to be connected.
- the host desires to be connected to an LIS of salesperson's workstations over a geographic area, the host requests the IP address of that LIS.
- a mobile host does not require a care-of- address (IP address) .
- IP address care-of- address
- a host located anywhere may belong to any LIS it wants to join if the LIS is defined on the ATM-LAN.
- each mobile host knows its own IP address from its configuration into the network, mobility corresponds to a special case of "request-type" semi-autoconfiguration described above.
- the mobile host need not get its IP address from an ACS, but only needs to register its new location information (ATM address) with the ARP server for its home IP subnet.
- ATM address new location information
- a mobile host knows the ATM address of the ARP server for its home subnet, so this registration may be easily performed. Communications directed to the mobile host will be sent to the home location ARP server and forwarded to the new location.
- the simple solution allows the sending host to determine the physical location (ATM address) of the receiving host.
- a sending host may determine the physical location of a mobile host from the mobile host's resolved ATM address.
- the mobile host's location remains private because all packets destined for the mobile host are received by the home agent and forwarded to the mobile IP host at the care-of-address .
- Another problem associated with the simple solution is that if the sending host has mobile host location information in its cache memory, it must purge this information and resolve the mobile host's address each time it sends packets to the mobile host because the mobile host's location may have changed.
- a network 800 includes a sending host 802 and a mobile host 804 connected over a network via a number of switches 806 - 812. Assume the mobile host moves from a first location (such as a home location) connected to switch q 810 to a new location connected to switch p 812. The method includes the step of the mobile host registering its ATM home address with an attached ATM switch. As seen in Fig. 8, this method preferably performed in an ATM-LAN aa follows:
- Switch p 812 informs switch q 810 of the mobile host's new location (line 822) . Switch p 812 accommodates this home address.
- the sending host 802 tries to set up a call to the mobile host 804.
- the mobile host's resolved ATM address for the IP address (rl) via the ARP server remains ql and the call set-up sends a packet 814 having a destination ql (line 824) .
- the call set-up reaches switch q 810.
- This DTL source routing packet is sent to the switch 806 connected to the sending host 802 (line 826) .
- This switch 806 is the "first hop" switch.
- Switch p 812 receives the message and forwards it to the mobile host 804 (line 830) .
- the mobile host 804 handles the remaining call processing. If a mobile host is connected to an LIS comprising of geographically separated hosts, the host may move to different locations and still receive communications from other hosts. That is, if a salesperson connected to the LIS described above is out of his office at a sales call, the salesperson may connect the mobile host (such as a laptop or palmtop computer or personal digital assistant) to a geographically removed subnetwork. Even though the host is located at a different geographic location having a different ATM address (e.g., connected, to a different ATM switch) , the host may still receive communications directed to the same IP address using the inventive method. Fig.
- FIG. 9 illustrates the advantage of the inventive method in a simplified manner.
- the inventive method establishes a direct connection (line 902) between a sending host 904 and a mobile host 906 via switch 910.
- the Mobile IP method described above establishes a lengthy connection (line 912) through several switches 914 to the home agent 916 and through several more switches (seen in Fig. 9 as the same switches 914) to the mobile host 906.
- the inventive method has several advantages: ⁇ • The method makes only minor changes to standard ATM- over-IP methods. That is, both the crank back and DTL source routing are currently under discussion for inclusion as part of the P-NNI (Private-Network Node Interface) specification. Thus, the protocol extension to perform this method is easy to implement. • The other network components, such as the ARP server, can be used without any change.
- Routing information is distributed throughout the network, thus distributing the call-processing over a number of network components.
- Optimal virtual channel (VC) routing is achieved.
- An ATM connection to the mobile host can use an optimal route. This is described below.
- the method supports multi-protocol mobility. That is, the method supplies transparent mobility capability for IP network layer protocols and other network layer protocols, as well. For example, this method may be used in IPX netware. III. Estimated Performance of the Privacy Enhanced Mobility Method
- the inventors performed network simulations using the inventive privacy enhanced mobility method.
- the simulations were performed on three network topologies illustrated in Fig.
- FIG. 10 a linear topology (Fig. 10A) , a rectangular mesh topology
- Fig. 10B a binary tree topology
- Fig. IOC a binary tree topology
- hop counts between a sending and a receiving mobile host were estimated for the prior art mobile IP and the inventive method.
- the inventors determined the hop count required to establish an ATM connection between the mobile host and a host attached to an arbitrary location in the network. (Note: the hop count of both the ATM switch and the home agent in the IP mobile case is considered one hop; the effect of propagation delay on the link between switches and hosts is ignored.) It is assumed in the mobile IP case that the home agent is attached to the ATM switch to which the mobile host was originally attached. Thus, in this model, the hop count is incremented by one each time a switch or home agent must process a cell.
- Fig. 11 is a graph illustrating the resulting estimates of the average reduction in hop counts for all three topologies. As seen in Fig.
- the inventive method reduces the hop counts for each topology by over 50% compared to the mobile IP approach. Note that as the network scale (e.g., the number of hosts, switches, etc.) grows, the hop reduction approaches 50%. (Currently, a typical virtual LAN is not, however, a large-scale network.)
- Fig. 12 is a graph illustrating the resulting estimates of the maximum reduction of hop counts provided by the inventive method compared to mobile IP.
- the ratio of the worst case scenarios for the methods approaches 100% as the network scale increases. This is because the mobile IP method can force communication to take an extremely redundant route.
- the hop count reduction is significant because it reduces the propagation delay between hosts.
- QoS Quality of Service
- resources must be reserved at every hop. Thus, reducing the number of hops reduces the amount of network resources to be reserved for communication between the hosts.
- Fig. 13 is a graph illustrating the percentage decrease of network bandwidth used to communicate between the hosts.
- the inventive method results in a 50% reduction in total network bandwidth for each topology regardless of network scale. (Note: no data is available for the binary tree topology . )
- FIG. 14 is a graph illustrating the percentage reduction of the ratio of traffic between the first hop link and the total network. This graph shows the ratio of traffic on the links one hop away from the mobile host's home agent and on the entire network. For small networks, a very large fraction of total traffic is concentrated near the home agent. For all networks, traffic is concentrated at links closest to the home agent. The proposed method reduces the overall amount of traffic and spreads the concentration of traffic away from the home agent more effectively than the prior art mobile IP method. (Note: no data is available for the binary tree topology. ) IV.
- a simple method for providing LISs in an ATM environment is described.
- This method provides for autoconfiguration, semi-autoconfiguration, and host mobility with enhanced privacy.
- Autoconfiguration and semi-autoconfiguration permit the establishment of LISs.
- the host mobility results in reduced hop count, reduced bandwidth usage, and reduced traffic concentration near the mobile host's home agent.
- the inventive method may be implemented with minor extensions to existing or proposed network layer protocols, such as IPv6, P- NNI, and UNI (User-to-Network Interface) .
- IPv6, P- NNI, and UNI User-to-Network Interface
Abstract
L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de configurer des sous-réseaux logiques IP pouvant accepter simultanément une autoconfiguration et des ordinateurs centraux mobiles (804). Ces fonctions sont acceptées au niveau de la couche liaison de données plutôt qu'au niveau de la couche réseau, comme c'est le cas pour des protocoles communément utilisés ou soumis à discussion au sein de la communauté Internet et du Forum MTA. Le procédé peut être utilisé pour réduire la consommation de ressources réseau, raccorcir les délais d'attente et assurer une confidentialité renforcée pour les ordinateurs centraux mobiles. L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de raccorder un ordinateur central (502) à un réseau local logique, tel qu'un sous-réseau logique 'Internet Protocol'. Pendant que l'ordinateur central est relié à une couche liaison de données (508) (tel qu'un réseau MTA) d'un réseau local auquel il est physiquement raccordé, on lui affecte une adresse de couche réseau (telle qu'une adresse IP) qui identifie le réseau local logique désiré.
