I am aware that there haven't been much activity lately, but i guess
that with the new challenges that the internet routing scalability
for instance, there will be more activity in this area and in
particular in this forum
Hi Marcelo-
This group will only be useful if the people who want to see it
continue propose some work items and collaborate on furthering them.
I'm glad you support the RG. Perhaps you'd like to propose something
that the group might do...?
After seeing the reports presented at v6ops and the plenary session
about the IAB workshop on routing and addressing, i guess it is clear
that there are a set of very relevant problems that need to be
addressed in routing. I certainly believe that this forum could be a
very good place to work on them. I mean, i can see that there are some
solutions that can be worked on the ietf and that could provide some
level of support in the short term for some of the problems, but i
think that interesting research work can be performed in that area.
In particular, imho this forum is a very good place to link the work
being done in the more academic community and the actual
implementations of solutions in the real internet. I mean, research
papers usually present some interesting and very clever ideas but when
those ideas are converted into a real protocol spec, there are quite a
few issues that need to be addressed. I think this could be place to
make this work.
Going more into specifics, the presentation made in the plenary showed
that artificial deaggregation of prefixes in order to achieve inter
domain TE is an important burden to the global routing table and
jeopardizes routing system scalability. If this is the case, it seems
that working on alternative, scalable mechanisms for TE is a relevant
work for the health of the routing system. I guess there are some
papers fo alternative means to achieve TE, perhaps this could be a good
place to try to produce alternative TE tools. This forum would be
interesting imho because it can attempt to produce a protocol spec
going into the actual details and more important, becasue we can try to
contrast the resulting solution with the needs of current users, i.e.
end sites and isps that want to do TE.
I guess there are other issues concerns that have been identified in
the workshop that could benefit from research and could be worked on
this rg. Bottom line is that, as i see it, in order to deal with the
problems identified in the workshop, short terms are needed, but also
longer term research work can be done. I think this could be the forum
for the second type of work. My perception from the outcome of the
workshop is that there is quite some energy in the community to address
these problems and probably we could benefit from it.
Regards, marcelo
