Hi Lixia: Here is the summary of Tunneled Inter-domain Routing (TIDR). Merry Christmas. Juanjo PROPOSAL -------- Tunneled Inter-domain Routing (TIDR) KEY IDEA -------- Provides a method for locator-identifier separation using tunnels between routers of the edge of the Internet transit infrastructure. It enrichs BGP protocol for distributing the identifier-to-locator mapping. Using new BGP atributes "identifier prefixes" are assigned interdomain routing locators so that they will not be installed in the RIB and will be moved to a new table called Tunnel Information Base (TIB). Afterwards, when routing a packet to the "identifier prefix", the TIB will be searched first to perform tunnel imposition, and secondly the RIB for actual routing. After the edge router performs tunnel imposition, all routers in the middle will route this packet until the router being the tail-end of the tunnel. GAINS ----- - Smooth deployment - Size Reduction of the Global RIB Table - Deterministic Customer Traffic Engineering for Incoming Traffic - Numerous Forwarding Decisions for a Particular Address Prefix - TIDR Stops AS Number Space Depletion - Improved BGP Convergence - Protection of the Inter-domain Routing Infrastructure - Easy Separation of Control Traffic and Transit Traffic - Different Layer-2 Protocol-IDs for Transit and Non-Transit Traffic - Multihoming Resilience - New Address Families and Tunneling Techniques - TIDR for IPv4 or IPv6, and Migration to IPv6 - Scalability, Stability and Reliability - Faster Inter-domain Routing COSTS ----- - Routers of the edge of the interdomain infrastructure will need to be upgraded to hold the mapping database (i.e. the TIB) - "Mapping updates" will need to be treated differently from usual BGP "routing updates" DOCUMENTATION ------------- The draft I submitted to the IETF is located on: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-adan-idr-tidr-01 Here there are some other links that add more information: --> on scalability of the global BGP table and reducing BGP churn http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ram/current/msg01308.html [RAM] TIDR using the IDENTIFIERS attribute (19-April-2007) --> on the different role of transit and non-transit ASes http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/rrg/2007/msg00902.html [RRG] LISP etc architecture (20-Sept-2007) --> on AS-based routing with very fine granularity http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/rrg/2008/msg00716.html [RRG] yetAnotherProposal: AS-number forwarding (11-March-2008)
