Subject: [rrg] question about the Identifier/Locator separation


I'm a newcommer to this working group.
To my understanding, the new architecture contains identifiers, locator/routing, mapping systems. So when a user moves, his identifier will not change, but he will get a new locator, and he has to publish the new locator in the mapping system, or
there is some automotic mechanisms to do that.

My problem is that in traditional routing systems, the IPv4 address serves both the identifier and locator, and the routing table growth and routing dynamics happens to the routing system. When identifier and locator separates, the routing system will have much less pressure, but what about the mapping system. It seems that the pressure has been transfered from the routing system to the mapping system. Can the mapping system handle the large number of mappings and dynamics?

I think, the major benifits of ID/Location mapping are not only for routing scaliablity.
Please see the slides in RRG meeting today.

thanks,
Jun Bi
