National Chi Nan University Problem Definition The wide adoption of RFC 3178 multi-homing solution implies the manual configuration of numerous tunnels on the ISPs, which may impose an important workload in ISP network administrators. 2
National Chi Nan University Background Multi-homing – Imposing extra stress to the Default Free Zone routing table. 3
National Chi Nan University Background (cont.) End-site prefix aggregation – Established connections will not be preserved in case of outage. – Increased connection establishment time in case of failure. – Ingress filtering incompatibility. 4
National Chi Nan University Background (cont.) 5
National Chi Nan University Background (cont.) 6
National Chi Nan University Multi-Homing Tunnel Broker We assume that the ISP clients have a commercial relationship with the ISP, so that the ISP can identify its clients and the prefix that the ISP has assigned to them. 7
National Chi Nan University Multi-Homing Tunnel Broker (cont.) TS = Exit Router 8
National Chi Nan University Multi-Homing Tunnel Broker (cont.) TS is a specific router with lower prefix announcing preference. 9
National Chi Nan University Conclusion The Multi-Homing Tunnel Broker has been developed as a proof-of-concept. 10
