This document discusses address mapping, error reporting, and multicasting at the network layer. It covers topics such as ARP, RARP, BOOTP, DHCP, ICMP, and IGMP. ARP is used to map between logical IP addresses and physical MAC addresses on local networks. RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP can be used to dynamically assign IP addresses. ICMP provides error reporting and network monitoring functionality that IP lacks. IGMP is involved in IP multicasting.

21-1 ADDRESS MAPPING
The delivery of a packet to a host or a router requires
two levels of addressing: logical and physical. We need
to be able to map a logical address to its corresponding
physical address and vice versa. This can be done by
using either static or dynamic mapping.
Mapping Logical to Physical Address
Mapping Physical to Logical Address
Topics discussed in this section:
9. 21.9
A host with IP address 130.23.43.20 and physical address
B2:34:55:10:22:10 has a packet to send to another host
with IP address 130.23.43.25 and physical address
A4:6E:F4:59:83:AB. The two hosts are on the same
Ethernet network. Show the ARP request and reply
packets encapsulated in Ethernet frames.
Solution
Figure 21.5 shows the ARP request and reply packets.
Note that the ARP data field in this case is 28 bytes, and
that the individual addresses do not fit in the 4-byte
boundary. That is why we do not show the regular 4-byte
boundaries for these addresses.
Example 21.1

Mapping Phy to Logical Address:
RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP
? A diskless station just booted.
? An organization does not have enough IP
addresses to assign to each station.
13. 21.13
Reverse Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP)
? A machine can use the phy address to get the
logical address using RARP.
? A RARP messages is created and brodcast on
the local network.
? The machine on the local network that knows
the logical address will respond with a RARP
reply.
? Broadcasting is done at data link layer.
? Broadcast requests does not pass the
boundaries of a network.
16. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from
network server when it joins network
Can renew its lease on address in use
Allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while connected an

? host broadcasts ¡°DHCP discover¡± msg
? DHCP server responds with ¡°DHCP offer¡± msg
? host requests IP address: ¡°DHCP request¡± msg
? DHCP server sends address: ¡°DHCP ack¡± msg

21-2 ICMP
The IP protocol has no error-reporting or error-
correcting mechanism. The IP protocol also lacks a
mechanism for host and management queries. The
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) has been
designed to compensate for the above two deficiencies.
It is a companion to the IP protocol.

Important points about ICMP error messages:
? No ICMP error message will be generated in
response to a datagram carrying an ICMP error
message.
? No ICMP error message will be generated for a
fragmented datagram that is not the first fragment.
? No ICMP error message will be generated for a
datagram having a multicast address.
? No ICMP error message will be generated for a
datagram having a special address such as
127.0.0.0 or 0.0.0.0.
Note
27. 21.27
Figure 21.14 shows an example of checksum calculation
for a simple echo-request message. We randomly chose
the identifier to be 1 and the sequence number to be 9.
The message is divided into 16-bit (2-byte) words. The
words are added and the sum is complemented. Now the
sender can put this value in the checksum field.
Example 21.2
29. 21.29
We use the ping program to test the server fhda.edu. The
result is shown on the next slide. The ping program sends
messages with sequence numbers starting from 0. For
each probe it gives us the RTT time. The TTL (time to
live) field in the IP datagram that encapsulates an ICMP
message has been set to 62. At the beginning, ping defines
the number of data bytes as 56 and the total number of
bytes as 84. It is obvious that if we add 8 bytes of ICMP
header and 20 bytes of IP header to 56, the result is 84.
However, note that in each probe ping defines the number
of bytes as 64. This is the total number of bytes in the
ICMP packet (56 + 8).

? Traceroute program: provides delay measurement
from source to router along end-end Internet path

? sends three packets that will reach router i on path towards
destination
? router i will return packets to sender
? sender times interval between transmission and reply.

21-3 IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)
The IP protocol can be involved in two types of
communication: unicasting and multicasting. The
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is one
of the necessary, but not sufficient, protocols that is
involved in multicasting. IGMP is a companion to the
IP protocol.
