Title : APT: A Practical Transit Mapping Service

The size of the global routing table is a rapidly growing problem.
Several solutions have been proposed. These solutions commonly
divide the Internet into two parts, one for customers and one for
providers, where only provider addresses are globally routable.
Packets destined for customer addresses are tunneled through provider
space. For this process to work, there must be a mapping service
that can supply an appropriate provider-edge address for any given
customer address. We present a design for such a mapping service.
We adhere to a "do no harm" design philosophy: maintain all desirable
features of the current architecture without negatively affecting its
security or reliability. Our design aims to minimize delay and
prevent loss in packet encapsulation, minimize the number of new or
modified devices, and keep the level of control traffic manageable.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-jen-apt-00.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
