Earlier this week, we submitted two new drafts: draft-xu-rangi-00.txt and draft-xu-rangi-proxy-00.txt
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xu-rangi and http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xu-rangi-proxy Both these drafts build on and explain the details of the RANGI presentation I had given at the last RRG meeting in Minneapolis. We would appreciate receiving your comments and suggestions for improvements. Abstracts of the drafts are as follows: draft-xu-rangi-00.txt Routing Architecture for the Next Generation Internet (RANGI) IRTF Routing Research Group (RRG) is exploring a new routing and addressing architecture to meet the challenges that current Internet is facing, especially in terms of routing scalability. This internet draft describes a new routing and addressing architecture, called Routing Architecture for the Next Generation Internet (RANGI) as a solution to the problems of scalability, mobility, multihoming, and traffic engineering. RANGI is a hybrid proposal that combines and enhances the ideas from several proposals particularly those based on identifier/locator split approach. It introduces a hierarchical and cryptographic host identifier and adopts a hierarchical routing mechanism to support routing across multiple independent address spaces. To allow smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6, it adopts an IPv6 address with an IPv4 embedded in the last four bytes as locator. This also simplifies renumbering in case of change of service providers. RANGI allows traffic engineering by allowing border routers to overwrite the source addresses. It allows policy control on ID to address translation by having a hierarchical resolution mechanism. draft-xu-rangi-proxy-00.txt A Transition Mechanism for Routing Architecture for the Next Generation Internet (RANGI) The Routing Architecture for the Next Generation Internet (RANGI) is a proposal for solving routing scalability, mobility, multihoming, traffic engineering and other issues facing the current Internet. RANGI is described in a separate document [RANGI]. This document describes a transition mechanism for RANGI. With this mechanism, legacy IPv4 or IPv6 hosts can communicate with RANGI hosts, and vice versa. This allows RANGI to be deployed incrementally in the current Internet.
