I saw this in the moderator's queue, so I'm forwarding it on Geoff -------- Original Message -------- Date: Tue, 19 Feb 2008 11:49:53 +0100 From: Olivier Bonaventure <Olivier.Bonaventure@uclouvain.be> Reply-To: Olivier.Bonaventure@uclouvain.be To: shim6@psg.com Subject: New drafs on improving shim6 for corporate and campus networks Folks, We have submitted two drafts that are targeted at improving the behaviour of shim6 hosts in campus and corporate networks by allowing the network operator to provide hints on the paths that hosts should use to reach some destinations. Please find below the abstract of the two drafts. The will appear on the IETF mirrors. In the meantime, they can be retrieved from http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/publications Title : The case for an informed path selection service Author(s) : O. Bonaventure, D. Saucez, B. Donnet Filename : draft-bonaventure-informed-path-selection-00.txt 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. In this draft, we propose an informed path selection service that would be queried by hosts and would rank paths based on policies and performance metrics defined by the network operator to meet his traffic engineering objectives. A companion document describes a protocol that implements this service. Title : IDIPS : ISP-Driven Informed Path Selection Author(s) : D. Saucez, et al. Filename : draft-saucez-idips-00.txt 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. Comments are welcome !
