Abstract :
The main architectural problem with the current inter-domain routing model is the overloading of IP addresses due to their use for identification, location, and forwarding. This makes it hard to support the need for multi-homing, traffic engineering, and mobility while maintaining address hierarchy that is essential for scalable routing. Thus, there is a need to separate identifiers from locators. In this paper we identify architectural and protocol changes in addressing and routing needed to provide major improvements in scalability. We design a corresponding protocol solution (Address-Identifier Mapping System-AIMS) based on separation of identification and addressing, and a mechanism for mapping ID to address.
