Coresim: A simulator for evaluationg locator/id separation protocol mapping systems

摘要: The alarming growth of the default free zone (DFZ) routing table prompted a response from the routing research community, which replied with several options, many of them centering around the idea of core-edge separation. The Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) is one of the most promising proposals, which gained momentum recently. Some implementations exist, with a small experimental testbed, but there are no tools to evaluate how these proposals would fare Internet-scale deployments. We propose CoreSim, an extensible LISP simulator, which can be used to evaluate the performance of this protocol considering today’s Internet topology.
