Unfortunately there isn't much new under the sun. This appears to be a Scott,
there is a lot new under the sun - from the routing technologyical point of
view. In 2003 I really made a significant discovery that extremely propelled all
my routing skills. Either me or someone else, who however would progress based
on my work, will be able, sooner or later, to prove that P=NP. The
practical( i.e. less academical) benefits could be harvested even now, but
obviously no one from the RRG is interested in routing technology that is
more advanced than what you can learn at the universities.
Instead people rather rediscover Steve Deering's metropolitain
routing. But just using the geographical coordinates in that way won't do! This
is as poor as is ILNP which in indeed just a remake of PNNI and -
remember you created the acronym yourself- of IARP (Inter-domain ATM-network
Routing Protocol). In the meantime others have shown quite some negative aspects
of such kind of hierarchical routing, more precisely, of such hierarchical
address-summarization based routing: Stretch 17 !
And I can also add: Istanbul effect (exact city map for the European part
plus a cut-out for the Eastern part from a road map about whole Asia) ! And
third: No sensitiveness for a future, entirely mobile network!
What
if
A L L users become
mobile ? including the home agents and care-of-address servers
?!!! ILNP won't be of any help at all.
And: ILNP emphasizes that multi-homing is just a special kind of multipath.
Great. But at the same time it prevents 100 % multipath, where there is no
panicing about loops anymore, not even in case of required
crankback.
