The current debate on this thread shows how many people are frustrated by the way their opinions had been ignored - including myself: Once I accomplished that Lixia became interested in my TARA-objectives. I wrote up a list of 11 objectives and thereafter I have never heard any response again:-( Among these objectives: ---------------------------- 2) Moore's Law: Next hop retrieval by 1 resp. 3 (indexed) table lookups. Will increase the speed of the next hop retrieval by factor 20 i.e. enable Moore's law applicability - even in cases where the best next hop is to be replaced by some other (e.g. detouring) next hop: you can simply, temporarily, replace the indexed table entry with the alternate next hop info. No caching needed (of course). ----------------------------- Hereby I assumed that the internet consisted of approx. 10,000 DFZ-routers only and that a TARA-router should see the closestly zoomed map of its own entire square-degree-geopatch. Now Robin told me that there are rather 210,000 DFZ-routers. Hence it would be appropriate to have an even closer zoom showing the own entire square-minute-geopatch. Thanks to Robin I could make a jump of joy:The improved solution is a modified TARA-Locator consisting of 3 components: (1) Square-degree#, (2) Square-minute#, (3) Square-second#. The next hop retrieval can be made by ONE SINGLE table lookup in ALL CASES : Is destination's locator.square-degree# not equal to my own? If YES, offset 64800-elements-sized table t1 by dest.square-degree# else : Is destination's locator.square-minute# not equal to my own? If YES, offset 3600-elements-sized table t2 by dest.square-minute# else: Is destination's locator.square-second# not equal to my own? If YES, offset 3600-elements-sized table t3 by dest.square-second# else: I (the current router) am the endpoint of TARA-forwarding. Is there anyone else who cares for enabling that Moore's law becomes applicable? If YES, share my joy :-) Heiner
