Folks, previous discussions on this mailing list have identified two main types of mapping resolution, pull and push systems, both with their respective benefits:
- Pull systems have comparably low state requirements, enabling finer- granular and dynamically generated mappings (e.g., for mobility) - Push systems have comparably low resolution latency, and hence less packet loss in tunnel routers that buffer packets during resolution I would like to propose DNS Map [1], a DNS-based mapping resolution system that combines advantages of push and pull systems. DNS Map exploits the non-critical time hosts spend waiting for a domain name resolution, by "pre-fetching" the mappings that tunnel routers are likely to need in the immediate future. This allows DNS Map to support the low state requirements and fine-granular/dynamic mappings of pull systems, while in many cases limiting mapping resolution latency to that of push systems.
