The important updates are: DRTM - Distributed Real Time Mapping for Ivip and LISP http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-drtm-01
Much improved DTRM description compared to my initial RRG message of 25/26 February. Ivip Glossary http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-glossary-01 Updated to match the above. I believe DRTM overcomes some objections which previously applied to Ivip's mapping system. DRTM does not involve any device needing to have the full set of mapping for all MABs (Mapped Address Blocks). Nor is there a need for ISPs and end-user networks to run query servers which are "full database" (getting continual real-time mapping changes) for any of the MABs. All ITRs and query servers (QSRs and the optional QSCs) in ISPs and end-user networks are caching-only. DRTM also provides for introduction of scalable routing supportive SPI ("edge") space portability, multihoming and inbound-TE with no ISP investment and almost no involvement. The initiative is taken by - and the investments are made by - MAB Operating Companies. These need not be ISPs. I hope to finish the update Ivip-arch in the next day or so. The 03 version doesn't cover the new DRTM (Distributed Real Time Mapping) arrangements. The new version will be: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-arch-04 The less important updates are: Fast Payload Replication mapping distribution for Ivip http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-fpr-01 Same as before, but with a note that the techniques here may be useful for Ivip and other purposes, but are not required for the new DRTM approach to Ivip. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-whittle-ivip-db-fast-push-04 Stub ID to indicate that the previous versions are obsolete and no longer part of Ivip. - Robin _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list rrg@irtf.org http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
