Separating Routing and Forwarding: A Clean-Slate Network Layer Design
Category: Networking and Communications
Tags: network
Overview This paper presents a "Clean-slate" design for a network-layer routing and forwarding system intended to address shortcomings of the current Internet Protocol. The 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. This paper presents the basic design, which is based on loose source routing. The routing and forwarding scheme is part of a larger project to produce a "Clean-slate" network layer design.
