Intellectual
Impact
Is it possible to hit a home run in networking research these days? Maybe. But only with incrementally deployable ideas. Dirty slate research....
Finding a fun project that industry wants to deploy is itself an intellectual challenge....
Virtual Aggregation: FIBs have routes to only part of the address space
Virtual Prefixes
Turns out, providers are nervous about doing anything without vendor blessing Fortunately, a vendor (Huawei) became interested in this
Huawei is implementing it With RFC in hand, can try to get providers to convince other vendors to implement
Assuming FIB is solved, whats the next bottleneck? I suspect that it is not RIB size, but rather BGP update processing cost
We are starting some router measurements to find out
Can we reduce the cost of updates while running BGP more-or-less as is?
Mapped-BGP
Expense of route processing are all the policies
Filtering, best-path selection, loadbalance, aggregation, route policies
Rather than distribute routes to all prefixes, distribute routes to tunnel endpoints, and distribute maps that bind prefixes to tunnel endpoints
Make the maps policy-free Exploit tunnels to improve inter-AS load balance and increase aggregation opportunities
