Title:
Routing and Addressing (open call)
Summary:
This RFP is designed to cover aspects of the Routing and Addressing problem that are not specifically covered by other RPFs.
Full Description:
While investigation into scalable Internet routing protocols has been an
area of active research for many years, few feasible (i.e., deployable)
proposals have emerged.
Topics in this space have included control plane performance, in terms of
state (e.g., size of the RIB and/or FIB), rate (e.g., routing table
updates), and stretch optimization.
Many algorithms have been proposed to solve parts of the problem (e.g.,
compact routing), but efficient and deployable solutions have remained
elusive. As such, further investigation is required to gain an in-depth
understanding of the behavior of the existing Internet, as well as for
potential future and emerging Internet architectures.
Constraints and other information:
IPR will stay with the University. Cisco expects customary scholarly
dissemination of results, and hopes that promising results would made
available to the community without limiting licenses, royalties, or other
encumbrances.
