“…Routing Locators (RLOCs) assignment is topology-based and is utilized to forward data and route data in the network. On the other hand, Endpoint Identifiers (EIDs) are topology independent and are utilized for numbering [12]. It enhanced routing system scalability by utilizing topologically dependent Routing Locators (RLOCs) [12].…”

Abstract:Recently, the Internet has been utilized by many applications to convey time-sensitive messages. The persistently expanding Internet coverage and its easy accessibility have offered to ascend to a problem which was once regarded as not essential to contemplate. Nowadays, the Internet has been utilized by many applications to convey time-sensitive messages. Wireless access points have widely been used but these access points have limitations regarding area coverage. So for covering a wider space, various access points need to be introduced. Therefore, when the user moves to some other place, the devices expected to switch between access points. Packet loss amid the handovers is a trivial issue. MediaSense is an Internet of Things distributed architecture enabling the development of the IoT application faster. It deals with this trivial handover issue by utilizing a protocol called Distributed Context eXchange Protocol. However, this protocol is centralized in nature and also suffers in a scenario when both sender and receiver address change simultaneously. This paper presents a mechanism to deal with this scenario and presents a distributed solution to deal with this issue within the MediaSense platform. The proposed protocol improves dissemination using retransmission mechanism to diminish packet loss. The proposed protocol has been delineated with a proof of concept chat application and the outcomes have indicated a significant improvement in terms of packet loss.

“…LISP [10] is an architectural solution to the Internet's scalability problem, recently generated by the alarming growth of inter-domain routing tables [30]. To this end, LISP's main goal is to split the semantics of IP addresses with the aim of forming two namespaces that unambiguously identify core (locators) and edge (identifiers) network objects.…”

“…This approach is complementary to existing ALM solutions as it aims to offer overlay management control to network operators in exchange for improved reliability and more efficient network resource use but at the cost of minimal infrastructure support. To achieve our goal, we exploit a unique window of opportunity offered by the development and deployment of the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) [10], a protocol meant to improve the current routing infrastructure, which we use as support for our proposal. In light of the intrinsic dependency on LISP, we refer to our solution as LISPcasting or shortly, Lcast.…”

Traditionally, efficient inter-domain data delivery may be implemented either as a network or application layer multicast service. However, while the former has seen little uptake due to prohibitive deployment costs the latter is widely used today, but often without a minimum guaranteed performance. In this paper we present Lcast, a network-layer single-source multicast framework designed to merge the robustness and efficiency of IP multicast with the configurability and low deployment cost of application-layer overlays. The architecture involves no end-host changes and only requires the upgrading of a small set of routers to support the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP), an incrementally deployable enhancement to the current global routing infrastructure. Content distribution over the Internet's core is done by means of a router overlay while within domains, end-hosts interface with Lcast using conventional multicast protocols. The overlay's scalability and topological configurability is sustained by logically centralizing group management. We illustrate the versatility of our solution by designing and assessing the scalability and performance of three management strategies for low latency content distribution. Our analysis is based on large scale simulations supported by realistic user behavior and Internet-like network topologies. The results show Lcast's low management overhead and ability to optimize delivery to meet various operational constraints. Notably, we find that it can deliver traffic with latencies close to unicast ones, independent of overlay size.

“…The Locator/IDentifier Separation Protocol (LISP) ( [6], [7] separates the identification and localization roles of IP addresses by introducing two logical addressing spaces: (i) the Routing LOCator space (RLOC), that is globally routable; (ii) the Endpoint IDentifier space (EID), that is only locally routable. With this separation, the Internet core, also known as Default Free Zone (DFZ), handles RLOCs addresses like it is done today, i.e., maintaining routes so that packets can be forwarded between any router within the DFZ.…”

“…. [5]) and those associating locators to routers (e.g., LISP [6], [7]). It is worth to notice that, in the current Internet architecture, end-systems' IP addresses have a dual semantic, being at the same time identifier of communication endpoints and locator of these endpoints in the Internet topology.…”

Abstract-The future Internet has been a hot topic during the past decade and many approaches towards this future Internet, ranging from incremental evolution to complete clean slate ones, have been proposed. One of the proposition, LISP, advocates for the separation of the identifier and the locator roles of IP addresses to reduce BGP churn and BGP table size. Up to now, however, most studies concerning LISP have been theoretical and, in fact, little is known about the actual LISP deployment performance. In this paper, we fill this gap through measurement campaigns carried out on the LISP Beta Network. More precisely, we evaluate the performance of the two key components of the infrastructure: the control plane (i.e., the mapping system) and the interworking mechanism (i.e., communication between LISP and non-LISP sites). Our measurements highlight that performance offered by the LISP interworking infrastructure is strongly dependent on BGP routing policies. If we exclude misconfigured nodes, the mapping system typically provides reliable performance and relatively low median mapping resolution delays. Although the bias is not very important, control plane performance favors USA sites as a result of its larger LISP user base but also because European infrastructure appears to be less reliable.
