Abstract

The number of addresses on the Internet grows rapidly, and thus there may be a point at which the state requirements for routing become unwieldy. The intent of this research is twofold. First to draw on compact routing theory with landmark routing, thus reducing router state requirements, but also to make the the implementation of theoretical routing protocols with low state requirements more feasible in a policy constrained network. To that end, conceptual organizational scheme called routing sets is presented, which would allow flexibility in the choice of routing policy. Furthermore, an IPv6 extension and algorithm is presented for routing using hints, which moves some of the routing responsibility onto the end hosts, potentially freeing routers of a great deal of the routing state burden.
