Connection setup
some network architectures:
ATM, frame relay, X.25
before datagrams flow, two end hosts and intervening
routers establish virtual connection
routers get involved
network vs transport layer connection service:
network: between two hosts (may also involve
intervening routers in case of VCs)
transport: between two processes

Recipe
To determine the
subnets, detach each
interface from its
host or router,
creating islands of
isolated networks.
Each isolated network
is called a subnet.

Scale:
hierarchical routing saves table size, reduced update
traffic
Performance:
Intra-AS: can focus on performance
Inter-AS: policy may dominate over performance
