Identifier and Locator Mapping Service Research

Global Locator, Local Locator, and Identifier Split (GLI-Split)

GLI-Split is a new addressing and routing architecture for the Internet. It splits the functionality of current IP addresses into a global locator, a local locator, and an identifier, and encodes them in IPv6 addresses. It implements the locator/identifier split and makes routing in the core of the Internet more scalable. GLI-Split can be incrementally deployed and it is backward-compatible wit...

How Fast do Identifier-to-locator Mappings Change in Networks with Identifier/Locator Separation?

There is a growing consensus that identifier/locator separation is a promising solution to the scalability issue of the current routing infrastructure. After locators are separated from identifiers, end hosts roam from place to place without changing their identifiers. On the other hand, their locators change when they roam from one place to another, which leads to changes of identifier-to-loca...

Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) Engineering Considerations

This document defines an Experimental Protocol for the Internet community. This document is a product of the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). The IRTF publishes the results of Internet-related research and development activities. These results might not be suitable for deployment. This RFC represents the individual opinion(s) of one or more members of the Routing Research Group of the Inter...

Efficient DoS-limiting Support by Indirect Mapping in Networks with Locator/Identifier Separation

Recent research in the designing of an elegant mapping service to map identifiers onto locators in networks with locator/identifier separation, focuses on solving practical issues related to mapping system. However, how to provide entire secure support in separation networks is still an open issue. In this paper, we present the design and evaluation of a hierarchical indirect mapping system (HI...
