IP address and Netmask

IPv4 : the IP address is a 32-bit numerical label, represented as 4 bytes separated
by dots. The decimal system is used to display the address in a human-readable
notation:
192.168.50.5/24
Subnetwork

Host

11111111.11111111.1111111.00000000
255.255.255.0

An IP Address is divided in two parts: subnetwork and host address. The netmask
index defines which part of the IP address refers to subnetwork address and to host
address:
The IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the
network part. In the example above, /24 after the IP address means that the subnet is
made of 24 bits, while the host part is 8 bits long.

Loopback address is mainly used for test purposes this address cannot
be assigned in the network
127.0.0.1
Multicast addresses (for a group of hosts such as for media streaming):
224.0.0.0 to 247.255.255.255
Broadcast address (to reach every host in the subnet):
255.255.255.255
Reserved addresses:
248.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.254
All other addresses are public and can be used and routed in the Internet.

Routing
Routers are network devices that connect subnets on its
different interfaces.
Routing is done using a routing protocol like OSPF, RIP or by
configuring a static route (default gateway)
In the example below, for host 1 the default gateway is the
interface of the router with IP address 172.16.25.1
172.16.25.4

Host 1

Subnet 2

In order to send packets from host1 to host4, the source sends the packets to the
gateway that in this case is the default gateway, that is the router at the address
172.16.25.1

RN28198EN20GLA0

Transport
Host 1
Host 2

Once the route from source to destination is granted by the routers, software in each
host can create virtual connections to enable different kind of information exchange.
Virtual connections are identified by Transport Protocol and Port Number
TCP (Transport Control Protocol): Enable reliable information exchange (retransmission)
UDP (Unit Data Protocol): Enable real time exchange (no delay)
SCTP (Signaling Connection Transport Protocol): Enable reliable exchange of SS7 signaling
on IP link.
Port number under 1024 are already assigned for different protocol going upper TCP and
UDP.

IP connectivity in BSC
The LAN Units (LANUs) provide IP connectivity to CPUs and PCUs in the
BSC.
Each LANU contains three LAN Switching Units (SWUs).
The SWUs are ESBxx switches backplane connected to CPULAN (first
SWU of each LANU) and PCULAN (second and third SWUs of each LANU).

BSC IP Interface Types

BSC units can manage different types of IP interfaces
LOOPBACK: Interface loopback is used for sending messages from the
unit to itself to test it. This kind of interface is used in troubleshooting.

EL0, EL1: Redundant CPU IP interfaces.

IFETH0, IFETH1: Redundant PCU IP interfaces.

The interfaces can be configured with physical or logical

addresses:
Physical Address: address is assigned to a specified computer unit
permanently.

Logical Address: address belongs to the specified interface of the

specified functional unit, that means the logical IP address follows the
active unit. The logical IP address can be given to 2N and N+1 units.
