Hey everyone, I recently submitted a new draft on an evaluation and analysis of Strategy D in Herrin's Taxonomy. It can be found here:
http://www.cs.ucla.edu/~jenster/strategyDeval-Jen.txt If all goes well, I will present my results in detail at the upcoming IETF. As always, questions and comments are welcomed. I intend to polish up the draft a lot, so actually qs and comments are particularly welcomed. Here is an abstract: The recent preliminary recommendation of the RRG lays out a set of strategies to scale routing. Much of the RRG effort has focused on strategies A-C, while there is rough consensus that strategies E-F should not be recommended by the RRG. However, little attention has been given to strategy D, which recommends that routers reduce FIB sizes by storing only the information they need, and nothing more. The major criticism of this approach is that "there's no evidence to support a conclusion that they'd aggregate well deep in the core". However, no deeper investigation has been done on this direction. In this draft, I present the results of a quantitative analysis of the effectiveness of strategy D for FIB reduction for a major Tier1 ISP. The contribution of this evaluation is to aid the RRG in assessing the merits of strategy D, hopefully allowing us to take important steps towards converging on a recommended solution. Thanks guys, Dan Jen _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
