Besides, what's the difference between NIRA(http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=944768) and Nimrod? although NIRA refers to Nimrod. The NIRA project I was mentioning (and which was rejected) is not related
at all with the URL above.
It would have been a hierarchical model with a completely different
understanding of what is a hierarchical node and a hierarchical link compared to
PNNI (which in return had its roots in Nimrod). It would have adopted from
PNNI/Nimrod the mechanism to form a hierarchical network view, that's all
(which is nevertheless a great concept). But no additional namespace, no
scalability problem, no worldwide routing churn,no prefix aggregation, and
no other stretch ratio than =1.
Noel, could you clarify wether the additional namespace in Nimrod
correlates to the NODE ID in PNNI, which was a 22 byte monster in addition
to the ATM addresses which where 20 bytes long?
