Routing and Addressing Problem discussions at IETF-68

Mailing list:
https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ram

As reported at the IAB plenary at IETF 67, the IAB workshop on Routing
and Addressing exposed a concern from network operators regarding the
growth and update rate of the DFZ routing table in recent years.

In IETF-68 we will talk about this issue from three different aspects.
First, an update/discussion on what we've learned about the problem
since San Diego and what the current plans are for IETF work in this
space. Secondly, a discussion about possible improvements in the
routing space. For instance, is there something we could do about the
UPDATE dynamics? Finally, a discussion about possible architectural
solutions to the routing scalability problem, such as the
identifier-locator split designs. This discussion should focus on the
desired goals and functionality, impacts on end users and applications
etc, rather than the specifics of actual solutions.  (But parallel
effort on solutions is welcome -- and ongoing.)

These three topics are somewhat independent from each other, e.g., the
improvements can be useful for many reasons, not just the problem
mentioned above.

The discussion will take place through the week in four separate
forums: the Wednesday plenary,Routing Area meeting, Internet Area
meeting, and the RRG meeting.

Agenda:

1. Plenary (Wednesday, 18:30--19:30)

   This is a short report on where we are with this problem and what
   the IETF can and intends to do about it.

   - Recent activity in context
   - This week's activity
   - Analysis since the Amsterdam workshop
   - Where to search for solutions
   - Summary
   - Open microphone

2. Internet Area (Thursday, 09:00--11:30): This is an architectural
   discussion of possible future work in the ID-Locator split and
   multi-level locator solution space.

   The agenda can be found at http://www3.ietf.org/proceedings/07mar/agenda/intarea.txt

3. Routing Area (Thursday 13:00--15:00): This is a fairly detailed
   discussion related to routing protocols/dynamics.

   The agenda can be found at http://www.arkko.com/ietf/ietf-68/ietf68_roap_agenda_rtg.txt

4. Routing Research Group (Saturday 17th, 10:00--18:00)
