LISP-DHT: Towards a DHT to map identifiers onto locators

obo — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:12:50 +0000

LISP-DHT is a DHT based mapping distribution system for LISP. The
purpose of LISP-DHT is to distribute identifier-to-routing-locators
mappings through a distributed hash tables infrastructure. LISP-DHT
is designed to preserve the locality of the mapping, i.e., the
mapping is always stored on the LISP-DHT nodes chosen by the owner of
the mapping.

IDIPS : ISP-Driven Informed Path Selection

This draft describes a simple network-based protocol to facilitate Path Selection and to improve traffic engineering capabilities in multihomed corporate networks. With this protocol, any network device that requires to select a path among a list of different paths asks a Traffic Engineering service called IDIPS (ISP-Driven Informed Path Selection) to obtain an ordered list of the possible paths. The ordering is constructed according to policies and performance requirements of both the host and network provider.

The case for an informed path selection service

With today's peer-to-peer applications, more and more content is available from multiple sources. In tomorrow's Internet hosts will have multiple paths to reach one destination host with the deployment of dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 hosts, but also with new techniques such as shim6 or other locator/identifier mechanisms being discussed within the IRTF RRG. All these hosts will need to rank paths in order to select the best paths to reach a given destination/content.
