Separating Routing and Forwarding: A Clean-Slate Network Layer Design (Invited Paper)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a “clean-slate” design for a networklayer routing and forwarding system intended to address shortcomings of the current Internet Protocol. Our design separates routing from both forwarding and topology discovery; requires only a flat, topology-independent namespace; and allows for policies of both users and service providers to be supported. Channels serve as the primary abstraction, allowing the network topology to be viewed at multiple levels of abstraction using the same identifiers. In this paper we present the basic design, which is based on loose source routing. Our routing and forwarding scheme is part of a larger project to produce a “clean-slate” network layer design.

ZNA: A Six-Layer Network Architecture for New Generation Networks - - Focusing on the Session Layer, the Network Layer, and Cross-Layer Cooperation - -
Using “clean-slate approach” to redesign the Internet has attracted considerable attention. ZNA (Z Network Architecture) is one of clean-slate network architectures based on the layered model. The major features of ZNA are as follows: (1) introducing the session layer to provide the applications with sophisticated communication services, (2) employing inter-node cross-layer cooperation to adapt...
متن کاملRouting Tables: Is Smaller Really Much Better?
We examine the case for small Internet routing and forwarding tables in the context of router design. If Moore’s Law drives costeffective scaling of hardware performance in excess of the Internet’s growth, protocol modifications and “clean slate” efforts to achieve major reduction in routing table sizes may be unnecessary. We construct an abstract model for the computation and memory requiremen...

متن کاملExploring the Pub/Sub Routing&Forwarding Space
We envision an information-centric future Internet where the network is built around named pieces of data instead of explicitly addressable hosts. One clear way of implementing information-centric networking is using publish and subscribe (pub/sub) operations instead of the send and receive primitives. Internet-like pub/sub networking requires completely different routing protocols and forwardi...
متن کاملKey Management in Information Centric Networking
Information centric networking (ICN) has been in the spotlight of recent research. It is an emerging communication paradigm that relays on the concept of publish and subscribe. It aims to revise the current Internet with a new clean slate architecture where the design is completely different from today’s location based model. To secure the forwarding plan in this network, it is vital to have a ...
