Unleashing traffic engineering for IPv6 multihomed sites

PhD Thesis · 2005

Abstract

Internet connectivity takes a strategic importance for a growing number of companies. Therefore, for reliability and performance reasons, many Internet service providers and corporate networks connect to at least two providers, a practice called multihoming. However, the current multihoming mechanism contributes to the explosive growth of the Internet routing tables. This growth has major implications for routers on storage requirements, protocol overhead and stability, and forwarding performance. As a consequence, the traditional way to be multihomed in IPv4 is prevented in the next generation IPv6 Internet. Many approaches for IPv6 multihoming were proposed, with little consideration for traffic engineering aspects. The aim of the thesis is to bridge this gap.
