Hi all, I have added a link on the RRG wiki page to a conceptual overview and an analysis of a new routing and addressing architecture, see under "Proposal Summaries". The proposal is called Dynamic Internetworking Architecture (DYNA). The paper is structured according to the RRG guidelines for a conceptual summary and analysis. An abstract is appended below.
Best regards Anders Eriksson A Dynamic Internetworking Architecture (DYNA) with Path-based Locators Anders Eriksson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ericsson Research Abstract - Network topologies change due to mobility or multihoming events, node or link failures, reconfiguration events, SLA changes, or other events. This paper describes the DYNA internetworking architecture, which is designed to handle topology changes as well as changes of provider-dependent prefixes in a scalable fashion using native routing and addressing mechanisms. The paper gives a long term perspective of an evolution of Six/One. The architecture assumes a semi-static core network and a dynamic edge region consisting of core edge routers, nested edge networks, and hosts. The global locator of a host is path-based in the sense that it describes a path traversing the edge networks between the core network and the host. The locator uses a provider-dependent prefix. A scalable locator construction mechanism updates the path-based locators to reflect the dynamically changing network topology. A node identity and locator split mechanism is employed to maintain session continuity at the transport and upper layers in case of locator updates. The paper provides a conceptual summary of the architecture, describes two design alternatives for dynamic locator construction, and evaluates the architecture against the design goals of the IRTF routing research group. -- to unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://psg.com/lists/rrg/> & ftp://psg.com/pub/lists/rrg
