  1. Network Topology JOHNNY JACOBS

  2. Networks as Graphs  Simplified abstraction  Intuitive  Nodes are hosts, routers, switches  Edges are connections  Allows simulation  Convenient  Cost effective

  3. What is Topology?  Generally  Branch of mathematics concerned with geometric relation between points  Computer Networks  Physical topology  Physical connections  Logical (Network) topology  Data flow

  4. How is it useful?  Network Management  Reliability  Identify points of failure  Routing  Throughput  Root cause analysis  Topology dependent algorithms  Cycles  Other insights

  5. Base Protocols  Broadcast Protocols  STP(Spanning Tree Protocol)  Routing Protocols  RIP(Routing Information Protocol)  OSPF(Open Shortest Path First)  Management Protocols  SNMP(Simple Network Management Protocol)  ICMP(Internet Control Message Protocol)

  6. Broadcast Protocols

  7. STP

  8. STP  Builds a spanning tree  All nodes connected  Not redundant edges  Not necessarily minimal  Allows for efficient broadcast

  9. Internet Routing Protocols

  10. RIP

  11. RIP  Essentially distance vector  Uses hop count (limit 15)  Every link has cost 1  Share up to 25 destinations  Share on change  Share every 30 secs  Neighbor dead if not heard in 180 sec

  12. OSPF

  13. OSPF  Hierarchical  Dijkstra's  Broadcast link state  Configurable link weight metric  Ex. Hops, inverse capacity, etc. Authentication  Multi-path  Hello messages

  14. Network Management Protocols

  15. SNMP

  16. SNMP  Single manager, many agents  Agents can be anything: routers, hosts, switches  Operates mostly on MIB (management information base)  information store, holds state of network  Mostly requests for, or setting of, MIB

  17. ICMP

  18. ICMP  Top-level diagnostic messages  Ping requests/replies  Traceroute  TTL expiration and destination unreachable

  19. Putting it together

  20. Hybrid Algorithm Network Topology  Uses routing tables from SNMP MIB information to identify routers and switches Physical Topology  Probes subnets using OSPF and STP
