Title : Fast Payload Replication mapping distribution for Ivip
Author(s) : R. Whittle
Filename : draft-whittle-ivip-fpr-00.txt
Pages : 42
Date : 2010-01-18
Fast Payload Replication (FPR) is a technique for fanning out the
payloads of individual packets to large numbers of recipients. By
trading off efficiency for robustness, the system can be made highly
tolerant of random packet loss or loss of connection from some
upstream Replicators. FPR is simpler and less efficient than
Reliable Multicast or Secure Multicast, but can operate on a global
scale over the DFZ. It is a host-to-host arrangement and is
independent of routers and network topology. Packets are DTLS
encrypted so spoofed packets cannot enter the Replicator system.
Since it is not completely robust against packet or link loss, or
secure against an attack which compromises a Replicator, the basic
FPR should be supplemented with Missing Payload Servers and end-to-
end authentication of received data in order to make an entirely
robust and secure system. FPR is being developed as part of a global
fast-push mapping distribution system for the Ivip core-edge
separation scalable routing architecture. It should be able to fan
out information to hundreds of thousands of recipients, worldwide, in
less than a second. FPR may have other applications.
