Tony,
Here are a couple of questions within that question:
1. Estimate the width of the map system as a function of the number of
contained map entries. Some map systems will have a fixed width (the
ITR always talks directly to the origin map server) while others will
have a variable width (I get my maps from my neighbor who gets them
from his, etc.)
2. As a function of the width of the map system (W) what is the
maximum acceptable time (T) in which a change must be propagated to
all devices who need to know that a change has happened.
2a. What's the maximum acceptable time in which one EID may be
inaccessible to another because of a map change due to a path failure?
2b. What's the maximum acceptable time in which one EID may be
inaccessible to another because of a planned change? BGP handles both
cases the same, which is a pity.
3. What function best describes the relationship between the peak
update rate in the system and the peak update rate in the system's
most heavily loaded device? For example, with BGP a map change at one
leaf will usually require a change across most BGP routers in the
system, so in the worst case its D=S and in the average case it's
somewhere between D=0.9S and D=0.5S.
4. What should the maximum acceptable update rate (updates/minute) be
on the most heavily loaded device (D) in the system?
5. What is the target minimum supported update rate for the system (S)
as a whole?
Regards,
Bill Herrin
