Hi all, We have published a paper comparing the two major approaches discussed on the RRG regarding routing scalability: separation and elimination. We believe that the proposals discussed on the list can be placed into either of these two categories. The paper goes on to argue why separation is a better direction than elimination when trying to achieve routing scalability.
The separation approach involves separating edge networks from core networks, taking edge prefixes out of the routing tables. Map & Encap schemes such as APT, LISP, and Ivip fall into this category. So do translation schemes such as SixOne. The elimination approach eliminates the use of PI addresses, moving edge networks into aggregatable PA blocks. Transport layer solutions fall into this category, as well as Shim6. The paper will be presented at the upcoming Hotnets VII workshop.
