我喜歡看到這樣的答案﹐也喜歡和這樣的朋友討論。

我們這裡談到的 switch 相信都是指 level 2 上面的吧﹐那麼我們要知道 OSI level
2 layer 上面有什麼標準才好理解。其中的 IEEE802.x 是應用最廣的標準﹐而我們最
常見的 ethernet 則是使用 IEEE802.3 這個 MAC sublayer 標準﹐其上的 DLC
sublayer 802.2 就交給寫 programing 的朋友幫忙解釋一下 吧。

我們這裡看看 IEEE802.3 是怎麼運作的﹐其特性有哪些﹖

IEEE802.3 在 ethernet 上使用的傳輸技術﹐最普遍被採用的是 CSMA/CD﹐其實可以
拆開三個部份來了解﹕

1) CS (Carrier Sense)

傳送設備要將信號送至傳輸媒體之前﹐首先要探測媒體是否已經存在 carrier﹐如果
有﹐則表示有其它設備在使用這個媒體進行其它的傳送。然則﹐傳送設備就不能向這
個媒體送出信號﹐而必須等到下次探測沒有 carrier 的時候才能傳送。這比較好理
解﹐也就是先搶先贏嘛﹐好比在課堂上發言﹐誰先舉手說誰先說﹐如果已經有人在說
了﹐那就等。

2) MA (Mutiple Access)
在同一時間內﹐允許多個設備使用共享媒體(當然不能離開 CS 和 CD 的制約)。在
CSMA/CD 技術中﹐當發送設備順利通過 CS 檢測之後向媒體送出信號而沒有發生
Collision 的話﹐所有分享著同一媒體的設備﹐都能收到這個信號。每一個設備都有
一個唯一的位址標識﹐我們通常稱之為 MAC 位址﹔而信號在傳送媒體中則是以 frame
的形式傳送﹐每個 frame 都有一個 source 和一個 destination 位址欄。傳送設備
將 frame 送至媒體上之後﹐只有被標識為 destination 的的設備﹐才會將信號 copy
下來﹐再往上層程式遞送 (decapsulate)﹐而那些設備發現 destination 不是自己的
話﹐就單純的不處理這個 frame (除非在 promiscuous 模式之下)。

不同的協定﹐對 MA 使用的不同﹐也會影響整體效率的運作﹐例如廣播封包﹐那些以
FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF 為 MAC 位址的封包﹐switch 還是會送到所有機器上面的﹐因為
使用這個廣播位址的 frame﹐每個接收設備都會將之 copy 下來進行 decapsulate 處
理。例如 Microsoft Network 的協定家族﹐其使用廣播封包的比率是非常高的﹐就算
使用 L2 switch 對這樣的廣播也束手無策。只有利用 subnet 和 router 或更高
level 的 switch 才有效﹐但設定的複雜性和額外增加的交通﹐也是要另行評估的﹐
恐怕就超出目前的討論範圍了。

3) CD (Collision Detection)
前面的 CS 過程中﹐在理想的情況之下﹐所有分享著共同媒體的設備﹐都應該有機會
取得傳送的機會。只是﹐電子設備的運作速度﹐遠非我們人類所能感應的﹐這些運
作﹐每一秒鐘可能有上萬甚至百萬次之多﹐例如 CAT 5 種類的網線﹐就能處理
350Mhz 或更高的傳送頻率。假如﹐當兩個設備剛好在這百萬分之一秒之內﹐同時做
CS 的動作﹐而又同時探測到媒體上沒有 carrier﹐那這種情形之下﹐這兩個設備可能
會同時對這媒體傳送信號﹐這就是我們常說的 Collision (碰撞)了。如果當一個碰撞
發生了﹐就會在媒體上產生frequecy ripple 現象。當一個在線的設備偵測到
ripple ﹐它就會發出一個高頻信號去清除所有其它信號。換句話說﹐這個信號同時告
訴所有設備﹐碰撞已經發生。這時候﹐每一個設備都會隨機的等待一段時間再重新進
行 CS﹐如果連續的(非間斷的)還是遇到 collision﹐那就按一定比例延遲隨機等待時
候﹐總共可以進行16次嘗試大家才會最終放棄。所以不難看出﹐如果在同一個
segment 上面﹐在線的設備越多﹐其發生 collision 的機會也越大。

事實上﹐除了 CSMA/CD 外﹐還有一個 CSMA/CA (CA = Collision Avoidance) 的技術
我們可以使用﹕發送端先向接收端送出 RTS(Request To Send) 封包﹐等收到 CTS
(Clear To Send) 回應後﹐才向媒體送出信號。AppleTalk 協定就是使用這種技術。
CA 和 CD 的分別﹐可以用過獨木橋來比喻﹕用 CD 的時候﹐要過就過﹐過不了再來﹔
用 CA 的時候﹐會先派一個小廝探路﹐如果他通過了﹐然後您才施然而過。


好了﹐當您了解 CSMA/CD 這個協定之後﹐那再來看看 HUB 和 Switch 的分別吧﹕

HUB 單純的是一個 repeater﹐當它從一個 port (和 TCP 協定的 port 不一樣﹐這裡
是指插網路線的接孔)接收信號進來之後﹐會將這個信號原原本本的送到所有其它
port 上﹐不管哪些 port 是接到哪一台機器。

而 switch 呢﹖它自己有一份 table﹐記錄著哪個 port 接到哪些 MAC 位址設備上。
當信號從一個 port 進來之後﹐會檢查這個 frame 的 destination 是哪個 MAC﹐然
後按 table 找到這個 MAC 對應的 port ﹐而僅將信號往這個 port 送﹐其它的 port
就不送了。

這樣有什麼好處﹖

先看看 CS 吧﹐當用 hub 的時候﹐所有 port 所連接到的設備都探測到 carrier﹐然
後就要等﹔而用 switch 呢﹖那些不是 destination 的設備﹐並沒有探測到
carrier﹐也就無需再等﹐可以直接向媒體送出信號。當信號到達 switch 的時
候﹐switch 會先利用 cache 接收這個信號﹐然後進行 table 的比對﹐再向
destination 送出。如果 switch 的 cache 越大﹐CPU 處理能力越強﹐其效率也越
高﹐當然價錢也越貴。

再看 CD﹐因為大部份由設備送出的信號﹐都會先被 switch cache 起來﹐然後再經過
table 判斷送出﹐那麼 collision 的機會也大為的減少﹐由此﹐因 CD 而中斷的傳送
也就大為減少﹐相對的﹐所有設備的使用效率也大為提高。

至於 MA﹐相信不用多解釋了吧﹖使用 swtich 還有一個好處﹕提高網路的安全性。如
果我們用 hub 來連接設備﹐因為 frame 會抵達所有機器﹐如果某人在其設備上裝上
一個封包抓取軟體﹐同時將網路卡的 promiscuous mode 打開﹐那就可以看到所有的
封包了﹔但如果用 switch 呢﹖只有被送到這台機器上的封包﹐才能被抓到。通常在
網路安全上面﹐安全性對於效能及便利性是成反比的﹕要增加安全性﹐就要犧牲效能
和便利性﹔要增加效能和便利性﹐就要犧牲安全性。而 switch﹐似乎是唯一打破這個
樊籬的網路設備了。

剛纔我還看到有人將 Bridge 和 Switch 混為一談了﹐我不知道該仁兄對 bridge 的
理解是怎樣的﹖在下認為﹐bridge 的功能只有兩個﹕filtering 和 forwarding﹔後
者是根據前者判斷後才能發生。

使用 bridge 的時候﹐基本上將物理的連線切為兩個 segment (或多個﹐視 bridge
界面而定)﹐然後﹐bridge 也會建立起自己的 table﹐分別將不同的 MAC 劃分到不同
的 segment 去。然後當 frame 抵達 bridge 的時候﹐bridge 會檢查其 source 和
destination﹐如果發現這兩個 MAC 都在同一個 segment 之上﹐那就不處理這個
frame (發揮 filter 的功能)﹔但如果發現 soure 和 destination 不在同一個
segment 上呢﹐就起用 forward 功能﹐將 frame 送到 destination 那個 segment
上﹐或是單純的向所有‘非 source’到 segment(s) 遞送(視 bridge 的能力)。

這樣看來﹐bridge 對 CS 和 CD 也起到改善的作用﹐但其對 frame 的處理﹐畢竟和
switch 是不一樣的﹕bridge 以 segment 為依據﹐而 switch 則以個別設備為單位﹐
所以在執行效率上還是有分別的。當然﹐如果您將每一 port 所連接的設備看為單一
的 segment﹐然後將 switch 看為 learning bridge﹐那或許可以將它們看為極為近
似的兩個設備吧。

至於於 10Base 和 100Base 的轉換﹐那只是 switch 中一項非常簡單的功能而已﹐並
非是 switch 真正加分的因素。


以上純為個人認知﹐如有錯誤﹐懇請指正﹐以免誤導觀眾。

多謝提點﹗

學習的過程中﹐真是來不得半點懶惰﹐想偷懶蒙混﹐實在不容易過關。為免誤導大
家﹐將文件查詢結果茲列如下﹕

4.1.2.2 Access interference and recovery
In half duplex mode,if multiple stations attempt to transmit at the same
time,it is possible for them to interfere with each other ’s
transmissions,in spite of their attempts to a oid this by deferring.When
transmissions
from two stations o erlap,the resulting contention is called a
collision.Collisions occur only in half duplex
mode,where a collision indicates that there is more than one station
attempting to use the shared physical
medium.In full duplex mode,two stations may transmit to each other
simultaneously without causing interference.The Physical Layer may generate
a collision indication,but this is ignored by the full duplex MAC.
A gi en station can experience a collision during the initial part of its
transmission (the collision window)
before its transmitted signal has had time to propagate to all stations on
the CSMA/CD medium.Once the
collision window has passed,a transmitting station is said to ha e acquired
the medium;subsequent collisions are a oided since all other (properly
functioning)stations can be assumed to ha e noticed the signal
and to be deferring to it.The time to acquire the medium is thus based on
the round-trip propagation time of
the Physical Layer whose elements include the PLS,PMA,and physical medium.
In the e ent of a collision,the transmitting station ’s Physical Layer
initially notices the interference on the
medium and then turns on the collision detect signal.In half duplex
mode,this is noticed in turn by the
Transmit Media Access Management component of the MAC sublayer,and
collision handling begins.First,
Transmit Media Access Management enforces the collision by transmitting a
bit sequence called jam.In 4.4,
implementations that use this enforcement procedure are provided.This
ensures that the duration of the collision is suf ?cient to be noticed by
the other transmitting station(s)in olved in the collision.After the jam is
sent,Transmit Media Access Management terminates the transmission and
schedules another transmission
attempt after a randomly selected time interval.Retransmission is attempted
again in the face of repeated
collisions.Since repeated collisions indicate a busy medium,howe
er,Transmit Media Access Management
attempts to adjust to the medium load by backing off (voluntarily delaying
its own retransmissions to reduce
its load on the medium).This is accomplished by expanding the interval from
which the random retransmission time is selected on each successi e
transmit attempt.Eventually,either the transmission succeeds,or the
attempt is abandoned on the assumption that the medium has failed or has
become o erloaded.
In full duplex mode,a station ignores any collision detect signal generated
by the Physical Layer.Transmit
Media Access Management in a full duplex station will always be able to
transmit its frames without contention,so there is ne er any need to jam or
reschedule transmissions.
At the receiving end,the bits resulting from a collision are recei ed and
decoded by the PLS just as are the
bits of a alid frame.Fragmentary frames recei ed during collisions are
distinguished from alid transmissions by the MAC sublayer ’s Recei e Media
Access Management component.


4.2.3.2.3 Collision handling (half duplex mode only)
Once a CSMA/CD sublayer has ?nished deferring and has started
transmission,it is still possible for it to
experience contention for the medium.Collisions can occur until acquisition
of the network has been accomplished through the deference of all other
stations ’ CSMA/CD sublayers.
The dynamics of collision handling are largely determined by a single
parameter called the slot time.This
single parameter describes three important aspects of collision handling:
a)It is an upper bound on the acquisition time of the medium.
b)It is an upper bound on the length of a frame fragment generated by a
collision.
c)It is the scheduling quantum for retransmission.
To ful ?ll all three functions,the slot time shall be larger than the sum
of the Physical Layer roundtrip propagation time and the Media Access Layer
maximum jam time.The slot time is determined by the parameters
of the implementation,see 4.4.

4.2.3.2.4 Collision detection and enforcement (half duplex mode only)
Collisions are detected by monitoring the collisionDetect signal provided
by the Physical Layer.When a collision is detected during a frame
transmission,the transmission is not terminated immediately.Instead,the
transmission continues until additional bits speci ?ed by jamSize ha e been
transmitted (counting from the
time collisionDetect went on).This collision enforcement or jam guarantees
that the duration of the collision
is suf ?cient to ensure its detection by all transmitting stations on the
network.The content of the jam is
unspeci ?ed;it may be any ?xed or ariable pattern con enient to the Media
Access implementation,however,the implementation shall not be intentionally
designed to be the 32-bit CRC alue corresponding to the
(partial)frame transmitted prior to the jam.
4.2.3.2.5 Collision backoff and retransmission (half duplex mode only)
When a transmission attempt has terminated due to a collision,it is retried
by the transmitting CSMA/CD
sublayer until either it is successful or a maximum number of attempts
(attemptLimit)ha e been made and
all ha e terminated due to collisions.Note that all attempts to transmit a
gi en frame are completed before
any subsequent outgoing frames are transmitted.The scheduling of the
retransmissions is determined by a
controlled randomization process called “truncated binary exponential
backoff.”At the end of enforcing a
collision (jamming),the CSMA/CD sublayer delays before attempting to
retransmit the frame.The delay is
an integer multiple of slotTime.The number of slot times to delay before
the nth retransmission attempt is
chosen as a uniformly distributed random integer r in the range:
0 r <2 k
where
k =min (n,10)
If all attemptLimit attempts fail,this e ent is reported as an
error.Algorithms used to generate the integer r
should be designed to minimize the correlation between the numbers
generated by any two stations at any
given time.
Note that the alues gi en abo e de ?ne the most aggressi e behavior that a
station may exhibit in attempting
to retransmit after a collision.In the course of implementing the
retransmission scheduling procedure,a station may introduce extra delays
that will degrade its own throughput,but in no case may a station ’s
retransmission scheduling result in a lower a erage delay between
retransmission attempts than the procedure
defined above.

4.2.4.2.2 Collision Filtering
In the absence of a collision,the shortest alid transmission in half duplex
mode must be at least one slot-Time in length.Within a burst of frames,the
?rst frame of a burst must be at least slotTime bits in length in
order to be accepted by the recei er,while subsequent frames within a burst
must be at least minFrameSize
in length.Anything less is presumed to be a fragment resulting from a
collision,and is discarded by the
recei er.In half duplex mode,occasional collisions are a normal part of the
Media Access management procedure.The discarding of such a fragment by a
MAC is not reported as an error.
The shortest alid transmission in full duplex mode must be at least
minFrameSize in length.While collisions do not occur in full duplex mode
MACs,a full duplex MAC ne ertheless discards recei ed frames containing
less than minFrameSize bits.The discarding of such a frame by a MAC is not
reported as an error.

剛纔查了一下 IEEE 的文件﹐的確發現他們將 switch 和 bridge 定義在一起了。那
就不能怪當初在校時的筆記﹐而應該怪自己沒仔細看文件囉~~~

不過﹐讀 IEEE 或 RFC 之類的文件﹐的確是非常乏味的﹐如果不想從頭看起﹐下面是
我‘斷章取義’下來的引文﹐希望對那些有興趣看看的朋友有些幫助吧。

ANSI/IEEE Std 802.1D, 1998 Edition
Part 3: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges


6. Support of the MAC Service

MAC Bridges interconnect the separate IEEE 802 LANs that comprise a Bridged
LAN by relaying and filtering
frames between the separate MACs of the Bridged LAN.The position of the
bridging function within
the MAC Sublayer is shown in Figure 6-1.

Figure 6-1—Internal organization of the MAC Sublayer

This clause discusses the following aspects of service provision in Bridged
LANs:
a) Provision of the MAC Service to end stations;
b) Preservation of the MAC Service;
c) Maintenance of Quality of Service;
d) Provision of the internal sublayer service within the MAC Bridge;
e) Support of the Internal Sublayer Service by specific MAC procedures;
f) Filtering services.

6.5.1 Support by IEEE Std 802.3 (CSMA/CD)
The CSMA/CD access method is specified in IEEE Std 802.3. Clause 3 of that
standard specifies the MAC
frame structure, and Clause 4 specifies the MAC method.
On receipt of an M_UNITDATA.request primitive, the local MAC Entity
performs Transmit Data Encapsulation,
assembling a frame using the parameters supplied as specified below. It
prepends a preamble and a
Start Frame Delimiter before handing the frame to the Transmit Media Access
Management Component in
the MAC Sublayer for transmission (IEEE Std 802.3, 4.2.3).
On receipt of a MAC frame by Receive Media Access Management, the MAC frame
is passed to Receive
Data Decapsulation, which validates the FCS and disassembles the frame, as
specified below, into the
parameters that are supplied with an M_UNITDATA.indication primitive (IEEE
Std 802.3, 4.2.4).
The frame_type parameter takes only the value user_data_frame and is not
explicitly encoded in MAC
frames.
The mac_action parameter takes only the value request_with_no_response and
is not explicitly encoded in
MAC frames.
The destination_address parameter is encoded in the destination address
field of the MAC frame (IEEE Std
802.3, 3.2.3).
The source_address parameter is encoded in the source address field of the
MAC frame (IEEE Std
802.3, 3.2.3).
The number of octets in the mac_service_data_unit parameter is encoded in
the length field of the MAC
frame (IEEE Std 802.3, 3.2.6), and the octets of data are encoded in the
data field (IEEE Std 802.3, 3.2.7).

The user_priority parameter provided in a data request primitive is not
encoded in MAC frames. The
user_priority parameter provided in a data indication primitive takes the
value of the Default User Priority
parameter for the Port through which the MAC frame was received (see 6.4).
The frame_check_sequence parameter is encoded in the FCS field of the MAC
frame (IEEE Std 802.3,
3.2.8). The FCS is computed as a function of the destination address,
source address, length, data, and PAD
fields. If an M_UNITDATA.request primitive is not accompanied by this
parameter, it is calculated in accordance
with IEEE Std 802.3, 3.2.8.
NOTE 1—Since the PAD field, if present, contributes to the FCS, this
parameter needs to include at least the contribution
of the PAD field to the FCS in order for the original FCS to be preserved
(See Annex G).
No special action, above that specified for the support of use of the MAC
Service by LLC, is required for the
support of the MAC Internal Sublayer Service by the CSMA/CD access method.
NOTE 2—The support by IEEE Std 802.3 is described only in terms of the
operation of a Bridge when relaying frames
that result from the use of LLC services over an 802.3 MAC. ISO/IEC 11802-5
defines the recommended practice for
bridging Ethernet V2.0 frames.
NOTE 3—IEEE Std 802.3, 1998 Edition, describes the use of either a Length
or an Ethernet protocol type in its frame
format; however, the text of this subclause has yet to be revised to
describe the use of Ethernet protocol types.


6.6 Filtering services in Bridged LANs
MAC Bridges provide filtering services in Bridged LANs that support some
aspects of the maintenance of
Quality of Service; in particular, transit delay, priority, and throughput.
In addition, these services provide
for a degree of administrative control over the propagation of particular
MAC Addresses in the Bridged
LAN.
The services described are services in the most general sense; i.e., they
are descriptions of the functionality
that are made available to the MAC Service user or an administrator in
order to control and access filtering
capabilities in Bridged LANs. The description of each service makes no
assumptions in terms of how the
service might be realized. There are at least the following possibilities:
a) Use of existing protocols and mechanisms, defined in IEEE 802 standards
and elsewhere;
b) Use of management functionality, either locally defined or implemented
via remote management
protocols;
c) Other means, standardized or otherwise.
6.6.1 Purpose(s) of filtering service provision
Filtering services are provided in Bridged LANs for the purposes described
in the following subclauses.


6.6.7.1 Dynamic registration and de-registration services
These services allow MAC Service users dynamic control over the set of
destination Group MAC Addresses
that they will receive from the MAC Service provider, by
a) Registering/de-registering membership of specific Groups associated with
those addresses;
b) Registering/de-registering their service requirements with regard to the
overall forwarding/filtering
behavior for Groups.
Provision of these services is achieved by means of GMRP and its associated
procedures, as described in
Clause 10.
NOTE—The intent of these services is to provide the MAC Service user with
dynamic control over access to multicast
data streams, for example, multiple video channels made available by a
server using a different group MAC Address for
each channel. The ability to both register and de-register Group
membership, coupled with the filtering action associated
with the Group membership, limits the impact of such services on the
bandwidth available in the Bridged LAN. These
services can be used to control the reception of other categories of
multicast traffic, for similar reasons.

REGISTER_GROUP_MEMBER (MAC_ADDRESS)
Indicates to the MAC Service provider that the MAC Service user wishes to
receive frames containing the
group MAC Address indicated in the MAC_ADDRESS parameter as the destination
address. The MAC
Addresses that can be carried by this parameter do not include
a) Any individual address;
b) Any of the Reserved Addresses identified in Table 7-9;
c) Any of the GARP Application addresses, as defined in Table 12-1.
DEREGISTER_GROUP_MEMBER (MAC_ADDRESS)
Indicates to the MAC Service provider that the end station no longer wishes
to receive frames containing the
group MAC Address indicated in the MAC_ADDRESS parameter as the destination
address.
REGISTER_SERVICE_REQUIREMENT (REQUIREMENT_SPECIFICATION)
Indicates to the MAC Service provider that the MAC Service user has a
requirement for any devices that
support Extended Filtering Services to forward frames in the direction of
the Mac Service User in accordance
with the definition of the service requirement defined by the
REQUIREMENT_SPECIFICATION
parameter. The values that can be carried by this parameter are
a) Forward All Groups;
b) Forward Unregistered Groups.
DEREGISTER_SERVICE_REQUIREMENT (REQUIREMENT_SPECIFICATION)
Indicates to the MAC Service provider that the MAC Service user no longer
has a requirement for any
devices that support Extended Filtering Services to forward frames in the
direction of the Mac Service User
in accordance with the definition of the service requirement defined by the
REQUIREMENT_SPECIFICATION parameter. The values that can be carried by this
parameter are
a) Forward All Groups;
b) Forward Unregistered Groups.
The use of these services can result in the propagation of group MAC
Address and service requirement
information across the Spanning Tree, affecting the contents of Group
Registration Entries (7.9.3) in Bridges
and end stations in the Bridged LAN, and thereby affecting the frame
forwarding behavior of the Bridges
and end stations with regard to multicast frames.


7.1 Bridge operation
The principal elements of Bridge operation are
a) Relay and filtering of frames.
b) Maintenance of the information required to make frame filtering and
relaying decisions.
c) Management of the above.
7.1.1 Relay
A MAC Bridge relays individual MAC user data frames between the separate
MACs of the Bridged LANs
connected to its Ports. The order of frames shall be preserved as defined
in 7.7.3.
The functions that support the relaying of frames and maintain the Quality
of Service supported by the
Bridge are
a) Frame reception.
b) Discard on received frame in error (6.3.2).
c) Frame discard if the frame_type is not user_data_frame, or if its
mac_action parameter is not
request_with_no_response (6.4).
d) Regeneration of user priority, if required (6.4).
e) Frame discard following the application of filtering information.
f) Frame discard on transmittable service data unit size exceeded (6.3.8).
g) Forwarding of received frames to other Bridge Ports.
h) Selection of traffic class, following the application of filtering
information.
i) Queuing of frames by traffic class.
j) Frame discard to ensure that a maximum bridge transit delay is not
exceeded (6.3.6).
k) Selection of queued frames for transmission.
l) Selection of outbound access priority (6.3.9).
m) Mapping of service data units and recalculation of Frame Check Sequence,
if required (6.3.7, 7.7.6).
n) Frame transmission.
7.1.2 Filtering and relaying information
A Bridge filters frames, i.e., does not relay frames received by a Bridge
Port to other Ports on that Bridge, in
order to prevent the duplication of frames (6.3.4). The function that
supports the use and maintenance of
information for this purpose is
a) Calculation and configuration of Bridged LAN topology.

A Bridge also filters frames in order to reduce traffic in parts of the
Bridged LAN that do not lie in the path
between the source and destination of that traffic. The functions that
support the use and maintenance of
information for this purpose are:
b) Permanent configuration of reserved addresses.
c) Explicit configuration of static filtering information.
d) Automatic learning of dynamic filtering information for unicast
destination addresses through observation
of source addresses of Bridged LAN traffic.
e) Ageing out of dynamic filtering information that has been learned.
f) Automatic addition and removal of dynamic filtering information as a
result of GMRP protocol
exchanges.
A Bridge classifies frames into traffic classes in order to expedite
transmission of frames generated by critical
or time-sensitive services. The function that supports the use and
maintenance of information for this
purpose is
g) Explicit configuration of traffic class information associated with the
Ports of the Bridge.
7.1.3 Bridge Management
The functions that support Bridge Management control and monitor the
provision of the above functions.
They are specified in Clause 14.

7.2 Bridge architecture
7.2.1 Architectural model of a Bridge
Figure 7-1 gives an example of the physical topology of a Bridged LAN. The
component LANs are interconnected
by means of MAC Bridges; each Port of a MAC Bridge connects to a single
LAN. Figure 7-2 illustrates
a Bridge with two Ports, and Figure 7-3 illustrates the architecture of
such a Bridge.
A Bridge is modeled as consisting of
a) A MAC Relay Entity that interconnects the Bridge’s Ports;
b) At least two Ports;
c) Higher layer entities, including at least a Bridge Protocol Entity.
7.2.2 MAC Relay Entity
The MAC Relay Entity handles the MAC method independent functions of
relaying frames between Bridge
Ports, filtering frames, and learning filtering information. It uses the
Internal Sublayer Service provided by
the separate MAC Entities for each Port. (The Internal Sublayer Service and
its support are described in 6.4
and 6.5.) Frames are relayed between Ports attached to different LANs.
7.2.3 Ports
Each Bridge Port transmits and receives frames to and from the LAN to which
it is attached. An individual
MAC Entity permanently associated with the Port provides the Internal
Sublayer Service used for frame
transmission and reception. The MAC Entity handles all the MAC method
dependent functions (MAC protocol
and procedures) as specified in the relevant standard for that IEEE 802 LAN
MAC technology.

7.5 Frame reception
The individual MAC Entity associated with each Bridge Port examines all
frames transmitted on the LAN to
which it is attached.
All error-free received frames give rise to M_UNITDATA indication
primitives, which shall be handled as
follows.
NOTE—A frame that is in error, as defined by the relevant MAC
specification, is discarded by the MAC Entity without
giving rise to any M_UNITDATA indication; see 6.4.
Frames with M_UNITDATA.indication primitive frame_type and mac_action
parameter values of
user_data_frame and request_with_no_response, respectively (6.4), shall be
submitted to the Learning and
Forwarding Processes.
Frames with other values of frame_type and mac_action parameters (e.g.,
request_with_response and response
frames), shall not be submitted to the Forwarding Process. They may be
submitted to the Learning Process.
Frames with a frame_type of user_data_frame and addressed to the Bridge
Port as an end station shall be
submitted to LLC. Such frames carry either the individual MAC Address of
the Port or a group address associated
with the Port (7.12) in the destination address field. Frames submitted to
LLC can also be submitted to
the Learning and Forwarding Processes, as specified above.
Frames addressed to a Bridge Port as an end station, and relayed to that
Bridge Port from other Bridge Ports
in the same Bridge by the Forwarding Process, shall also be submitted to
LLC.
No other frames shall be submitted to LLC.


7.6 Frame transmission
The individual MAC Entity associated with each Bridge Port transmits frames
submitted to it by the MAC
Relay Entity.
Relayed frames are submitted for transmission by the Forwarding Process.
The M_UNITDATA.request
primitive associated with such frames conveys the values of the source and
destination address fields
received in the corresponding M_UNITDATA.indication primitive.
LLC Protocol Data Units are submitted by LLC as a user of the MAC Service
provided by the Bridge Port.
Frames transmitted to convey such Protocol Data Units carry the individual
MAC Address of the Port in the
source address field.
Each frame is transmitted subject to the MAC procedures to be observed for
that specific IEEE 802 LAN
technology. The values of the frame_type and mac_action parameters of the
corresponding M_UNITDATA.
request primitive shall be user_data_frame and request_with_no_response,
respectively (6.5).
Frames transmitted following a request by the LLC user of the MAC Service
provided by the Bridge Port
shall also be submitted to the MAC Relay Entity.

7.7 The Forwarding Process
Frames submitted to the Forwarding Process after being received at any
given Bridge Port (7.5) shall be forwarded
through the other Bridge Ports subject to the constituent functions of the
Forwarding Process. These
functions enforce topology restrictions (7.7.1), use filtering database
information to filter frames (7.7.2),
queue frames (7.7.3), select queued frames for transmission (7.7.4), map
priorities (7.7.5), and recalculate
FCS if required (7.7.6).

The Forwarding Process functions are described in 7.7.1–7.7.6 in terms of
the action taken for a given frame
received on a given Port (termed “the reception Port”). The frame can be
forwarded for transmission on
some Ports (termed “transmission Ports”), and is discarded without being
transmitted at the other Ports.
NOTE—The model of operation of the Forwarding Process described in this
standard is limited to the operation of the
relay function of the MAC Bridge, and does not take into consideration what
may occur in real implementations once
frames are passed to the MAC for transmission. In some MAC implementations,
and under some traffic conditions, a
degree of indeterminacy may be introduced between the modeled description
of the process of passing selected frames to
the MAC for transmission and the actual sequence of frames as visible on
the LAN medium itself. Examples can be
found in the handling of access_priority in Token-Passing Bus MACs, or in
the effect of different values for Token Holding
Time in FDDI LANs. Such indeterminacy could result in apparent violation of
the queuing/de-queueing and prioritiation
rules described for the Forwarding Process, when observing traffic on the
medium. As a consequence, in some
implementations of this standard, it may prove to be impossible to test
conformance to the standard simply by relating
observed LAN traffic to the described model of the Forwarding Process;
conformance tests would have to allow for the
(permissible) behavior of the MAC implementations as well.
Figure 7-4 illustrates the operation of the Forwarding Process in a single
instance of frame relay between the
Ports of a Bridge with two Ports. Figure 7-8 illustrates the detailed
operation of the Forwarding Process.


7.8 The Learning Process
The Learning Process observes the source addresses of frames received on
each Port and updates the Filtering
Database conditionally on the state of the receiving Port.
Frames are submitted to the Learning Process by the individual MAC Entities
associated with each Bridge
Port as specified in 7.5.
The Learning Process may deduce the path through the Bridged LAN to
particular end stations by inspection
of the source address field of received frames. It shall create or update a
Dynamic Filtering Entry (7.9, 7.9.2)
in the Filtering Database, associating the Port on which the frame was
received with the MAC Address in the
source address field of the frame, if and only if
a) The Port on which the frame was received is in a state that allows
learning (8.4), and
b) The source address field of the frame denotes a specific end station,
i.e., is not a group address, and
c) No Static Filtering Entry (7.9, 7.9.1) for the associated MAC Address
exists in which the Port Map
specifies Forwarding or Filtering for that Port, and
d) The resulting number of entries would not exceed the capacity of the
Filtering Database.
If the Filtering Database is already filled up to its capacity, but a new
entry would otherwise be made, then an
existing entry may be removed to make room for the new entry.
Figure 7-5 illustrates the operation of the Learning Process in the
inclusion of station location information
carried by a single frame, received on one of the Ports of a Bridge, in the
Filtering Database.


7.9 The Filtering Database
The Filtering Database supports queries by the Forwarding Process as to
whether frames received by the
Forwarding Process from a given reception Port, and with given values of
destination MAC Address parameter,
are to be forwarded through a given potential transmission Port (7.7.1,
7.7.2). It contains filtering information
in the form of filtering entries that are either
a) Static, and explicitly configured by management action; or
b) Dynamic, and automatically entered into the Filtering Database by the
normal operation of the
bridge and the protocols it supports.
A single entry type, the Static Filtering Entry, represents all static
information in the Filtering Database, for
individual and for group MAC Addresses. It allows administrative control of

c) Forwarding of frames with particular destination addresses; and
d) The inclusion in the Filtering Database of dynamic filtering information
associated with Extended
Filtering Services, and use of this information.
The Filtering Database shall contain entries of the Static Filtering Entry
type.
Static filtering information is added to, modified, and removed from the
Filtering Database only under
explicit management control. It shall not be automatically removed by any
ageing mechanism. Management
of static filtering information may be carried out by use of the remote
management capability provided by
Bridge Management (7.11) using the operations specified in Clause 14.
Two entry types are used to represent dynamic filtering information.
Dynamic Filtering Entries are used to
specify the ports on which individual addresses have been learned. They are
created and updated by the
Learning Process (7.8), and are subject to ageing and removal by the
Filtering Database. Group Registration
Entries support the registration of group MAC Addresses. They are created,
updated, and removed by the
GMRP protocol in support of Extended Filtering Services (6.6.5, 7.9.3, and
Clause 10). Dynamic filtering
information may be read by use of the remote management capability provided
by Bridge Management
(7.11) using the operations specified in Clause 14.
Both static and dynamic entries comprise
e) A MAC Address specification;
f) A Port Map, with a control element for each outbound Port to specify
filtering for the MAC Address
specification.
The Filtering Services supported by a Bridge (Basic and Extended Filtering
Services) determine the default
behavior of the Bridge with respect to the forwarding of frames destined
for group MAC Addresses. In
Bridges that support Extended Filtering Services, the default forwarding
behavior of each Port for group
MAC Addresses can be configured both statically and dynamically by means of
Static Filtering Entries and/
or Group Registration Entries that can carry the following MAC Address
specifications:
g) All Group Addresses, for which no more specific Static Filtering Entry
exists;
h) All Unregistered Group Addresses (i.e., all group MAC Addresses for
which no Group Registration
Entry exists), for which no more specific Static Filtering Entry exists.
NOTE—The All Group Addresses specification (item g above), when used in a
Static Filtering Entry with an appropriate
control specification, provides the ability to configure a Bridge that
supports Extended Filtering Services to behave as a
Bridge that supports only Basic Filtering Services on some or all of its
Ports. This might be done for the following reasons:
— The Ports concerned serve “legacy” devices that wish to receive
multicast traffic, but are unable to register Group
membership;
— The Ports concerned serve devices that need to receive all multicast
traffic, such as routers or diagnostic devices.
The Filtering Database shall support the creation, updating, and removal of
Dynamic Filtering Entries by the
Learning Process (7.8). In Bridges that support Extended Filtering
Services, the Filtering Database shall
support the creation, updating, and removal of Group Registration Entries
by GMRP (Clause 10).
Figure 7-4 illustrates the use of the Filtering Database by the Forwarding
Process in a single instance of
frame relay between the Ports of a Bridge with two Ports.
Figure 7-5 illustrates the creation or update of a dynamic entry in the
Filtering Database by the Learning
Process.

Figure 7-6 illustrates the operation of the Bridge Protocol Entity (7.10),
which operates the Spanning Tree
Algorithm and Protocol, and its notification of the Filtering Database of
changes in active topology signaled
by that protocol.


7.12.1 End stations
Frames transmitted between end stations using the MAC Service provided by a
Bridged LAN carry the
MAC Address of the source and destination peer end stations in the source
and destination address fields of
the frames, respectively. The address, or other means of identification, of
a Bridge is not carried in frames
transmitted between peer users for the purpose of frame relay in the
Bridged LAN.
The broadcast address and other group MAC Addresses apply to the use of the
MAC Service provided by a
Bridged LAN as a whole. In the absence of explicit filters configured via
management as Static Filtering
Entries, or via GMRP as Group Registration Entries (Clause 14, Clause 10,
7.9), frames with such destination
addresses are relayed throughout the Bridged LAN.
7.12.2 Bridge Ports
The individual MAC Entity associated with each Bridge Port shall have a
separate individual MAC Address.
This address is used for any MAC procedures required by the particular MAC
method employed.
Frames that are received from the LAN to which a Port is attached and that
carry a MAC Address for the
Port in the destination address field are submitted to the MAC Service User
(LLC) exactly as for an end
station.

L3 Switch 會有﹕outing Module，互通應該就是指
透過 L3 Swtich 上的 Routing Module，而不需要從
每個 VLan 上找一個 Port uplink 到上層的 Switch
或是直接接到 Router 上，以達到 VLan 互通吧！

    VLAN 是在 L2 Switch 上就有了，L3 是後來有

      這邊siklo說的沒錯
      有關trunking這個字眼，你該如何去定義？
      在Cisco這一派裡，Trunking指的就是vlan port trunking
      同一台switch內切割了數個VLAN，而只有一條實體連結
      至另一台也切割了數個 VLAN的switch，這兩台switch中間
      只有一條實體連結，我們就要在這個port上設定VLAN Trunk
      加上802.1q or ISL 的封裝，才能讓這兩台的vlan information
      可以互相溝通，不同switch的同一個VLAN才能通
      如VLAN1@SW1 <-> VLAN1@SW2, VLAN2@SW1 <-> VLAN2@SW2
      以上是Cisco的"trunking"

      而一般我們講trunking可能是指Cisco的EtherChannel
      也就是介於兩switch間數條實體電路合併頻寬及做redudant的技術
      跟上面所述是完全不一樣的東西，說明清楚可能會比較好

Trunking和VLAN有很大的關係喔....
不同的網路設備廠商對於trunk有不同的詮釋

Intel的trunk為將數個port聚集成一個group，如果是4個port做trunk，
那麼兩台switch之間的頻寬為400MB full-duplex，同樣的技術Extreme
稱之為link aggregation，Cisco稱之為Fast EtherChannel。

Cisco的trunk是一條link上可以攜帶數個VLAN的traffic，假設switch1有
三個VLAN，switch2也有三個VLAN，vlan1@switch1想和vlan1@switch2溝通時，
最簡單的方法，就是三條連線分別連接兩台switch相對應的三個vlan，但這種方
法
太浪費port，解決方法就是兩台switch各選一個port設定為trunk port，然後連
起來
，這一條trunk link就可以攜帶三個vlan的traffic(set trunk 1 on 1-3)，馬
上就
省下兩個port。但這僅止於相同vlan之間的溝通。如果vlan1想和vlan2溝通的話
，
就必須要靠router或者是multilayer switch來進行routing的功能。
如果是Extreme switch的話，一行指令ip forwarding就搞定，如果是cisco switch
的話，就必須加買route switching module。

雖然cisco的switch不是頂好，但是如果向市場主流看齊的話，那麼trunk和vlan
之間
密不可分的關係就不可不知。
by the way，CCNP中的BCMSN一科就考了相當多的trunk and vlan的觀念。

《 在 shinlong. 的大作中提到: 》
: 謝謝你嚕~@@"...
: 我查過上篇都沒有說...>"<

快速的說法是, Switch Hub 比 一般 Hub 還要有效率, 更加的高級就是了!
很多人用簡單的除法說什麼 5 ports/10Mbps 的 一般Hub,
每一個電腦只能分到 10/5=2Mbpe, 那是錯誤的!
說什麼 Switch Hub 可以使每台電腦都接收/傳送 10Mbps的頻寬, 也錯誤!
正確的說, 是 Switch Hub 如果是 5 Ports, 假設是 a b c d e 好了,
那其中要是 a 剛好只跟 b討資料, c 剛好只跟 d 討資料, e 電腦沒人用,
那麼頻寬的分配是 a=10Mbps b=10Mbps c=10Mbps d=10Mbps
那如果 b, c, d, e 都同時向 a 討資料, 那麼頻寬就變成10Mbps/4=2.5Mbps
Mbps=Million bit per second (百萬 bit 每秒)
所以變化也滿多的, 假設 a, b 同時跟 c 討資料, c 又跟 d 討資料, e又跟 a
討資料.
那就會變成 :
a--->e
d--->c
c--->a
c--->b

由此看來, 其中 c 最受歡迎, c 的資料就有二個人要.
b和 e 最可憐, 硬碟裡可能什麼都沒有, 所以沒人要他的資料.
d 最獨立, 沒有向其他 4 台電腦索取資料, 還提供資料給 c電腦, 所以d可能是 Server.
那麼頻寬就變成,
a=10/4=2.5Mbps
b=10/4=2.5Mbps
c=10/4=2.5Mbps
d=10/4=2.5Mpbs
e=10/4=2.5Mpbs

所以就算是 Switch Hub, 遇到牽扯一堆的時候, 也是跟普通 Hub一樣.
每個都一樣了, 即使 d看起來跟別人牽扯的最少, 但就是因為 d給c資料.
問題就出在 c, c 牽扯最多, 導致 5 台電腦的分享頻寬都一樣了, 都要分掉.

如果今天其中二個都只跟對方相互取資料, 那麼就可以享有 10Mbps的全速.
也就是互相深愛對方, 各自都沒有在跟別人牽扯, 這樣就可達到 Switch 的功能.
這樣最好的情況就是 有 4 ports 可以享受 各自獨立的 10Mbps, 其中一 port
必須
不動作.
應該是如此, 講錯的話請指教.
所以買 Switch Hub 應該買偶數的 ports 數目, 5, 7, 9 這些都不要買.
買4, 6, 8, 16, 偶數的 Switch Hub.
推薦 3Com 和 SMC的 Hub.

Hub & switch 在處理頻寬的差異
作者: 張廷暉 (211.79.149.---)

HUB是所有PORT共用一個頻寬，SWITCH則各PORT獨立一個頻寬。假如以100Mbits為例，
則HUB 之各個PORT是如何分享頻寬，假設各PORT均在使用中，則各PORT分享到多少頻
寬，可否舉例說明？
以上述為例，則SWITCH各PORT享受到多少頻寬？

嗯﹐概念上不大正確。

HUB 和 SWITCH 的分別﹐不在頻寬的‘切割’﹐而在於對頻寬的‘使用時機’﹐其中最
大分別是﹕在 HUB 上面﹐同一時間內﹐只能有一個 port 進行傳送﹐而在 switch 則
允許所有 port 同時傳送。

如果今天﹐連接 5 台機器在 switch 上面﹐如果 abcd 都同時向 e 傳送數據﹐那
abcd 送出的數據﹐都會先被 queue 起來﹐然後 switch 會用自己的 CPU 進行處理﹐
將 queue 中的數據處理掉﹔而換成 hub﹐那麼﹐a 在送的話﹐bcd 都要等﹐如果 b 在
送的話﹐acd 都要等....

小弟對於這段話 很感興趣

連接 5 台機器在 switch 上面﹐如果 abcd 都同時向 e 傳送數據﹐那 abcd 送出的數
據﹐都會先被 queue 起來﹐然後 switch 會用自己的 CPU 進行處理﹐將 queue 中的
數據處理掉.

請教的是.不管switch 如何處理.始終要送出資料給 abcd.這時跟hub 的傳送有分別嗎
?
switch 送給a的同時.b or c or d 還能同時間接收 e 的封包嗎 ? 如果不能.
以上面的例子.小弟看不出跟 hub 在這段時間內.跟switch 有何分別.
請指教.

有啊﹐就是改善了 carry sensce 的等待啊(請重新參考 CSMA/CD 這個技術)﹐這樣說
好了﹐如果 abcd 同時給 e 送數據﹐而且 a 又同時向 b 送﹐而 f 和 g 也嘗試在送
數據。

這時候﹐a 只要將給 e 的數據往 switch 丟之後﹐那就可以繼續向 b 丟下一個了﹐而
同時 bcd 也可以向 e 送﹐以及 f 也可以向 g 丟數據。

如果換成 hub 呢﹐當 a 向 e 送的時候﹐那麼 b 要等﹐然後輪到 c 和 d﹐而 a 向 b
送的﹐也要等 d 送完﹐連 f 到 g 的也要等就是了。

不知道能看到它們的分別嗎﹖假如以每 1 秒為一個運算週期來看﹐我們可以發現﹕

用 switch 的(理想)情形如下面﹕
第一秒﹕abcd->e,f->g
第二秒﹕a->b (完成)

而用 hub 呢﹕
第一秒﹕a->e
第二秒﹕b->e
第三秒﹕c->e
第四秒﹕d->e
第五秒﹕f->g
第六秒﹕a->b (完成)

不過﹐請留意﹐以上是假設的理想狀態﹐而且單純針對 carry sensce (也就是 node
到 switch)的部份﹐至於 collision detect﹐還有 switch 處理完 queue 之後將數據
送給 nodes 的部份尚未考慮進來。

我不敢確定﹐但我猜 e 自己的接收還是受到接收順序限制的﹐就算如此﹐以比較
switch port 送至 nodes 的時間﹐最長的佇列只是 switch 到 e 的時間﹐而在它完成
之前﹐其它的 queue 已經清空了(我想這要看 switch 的處理能力而定吧)﹔但換成
hub 的話﹐其它 queue 就沒同時處理的可能﹐也只能是 FIFO 處理。

假如各主機﹐同時又開了一堆連線分別和不同主機連線﹐就更複雜了﹐但我可以肯定一
點是﹐連線越多﹐switch 越有發揮的價值﹐用 hub 則只能更慘。

如果您一定要強調從 e 送封包出來給 abcd (而不是 abcd 同時向 e 送)﹐那光就 CS
來說﹐的確沒什麼分別﹐但只這單純是 local 端送出封包的順序限制而已﹐似乎不應
該扯上 switch 和 hub。

還有﹐以上說的全是在 haff-duplex 的情形下發生﹐而在 full-duplex 下面則不是這
樣的﹐不過﹐就不能用 hub 了。
