“…That is, high mobility effectively makes routing directly over structured names as hard as routing over flat names unless indirection or a name resolution infrastructure is used, a conjecture that has recently been empirically reinforced by Gao et al [27].…”

Mobile devices dominate the Internet today, however the Internet rooted in its tethered origins continues to provide poor infrastructure support for mobility. Our position is that in order to address this problem, a key challenge that must be addressed is the design of a massively scalable global name service that rapidly resolves identities to network locations under high mobility. Our primary contribution is the design, implementation, and evaluation of Auspice, a nextgeneration global name service that addresses this challenge. A key insight underlying Auspice is a demand-aware replica placement engine that intelligently replicates name records to provide low lookup latency, low update cost, and high availability. We have implemented a prototype of Auspice and compared it against several commercial managed DNS providers as well as state-of-the-art research alternatives, and shown that Auspice significantly outperforms both. We demonstrate proof-of-concept that Auspice can serve as a complete end-to-end mobility solution as well as enable novel context-based communication primitives that generalize nameor address-based communication in today's Internet.

“…There exists a vast body of work addressing host mobility in the Internet [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [4], [12], [13]. The many solutions that have been proposed in the past either require modifications to the protocols used in the data plane at the network, transport, or application layers of the existing Internet architecture, or advocate replacing the Internet architecture altogether.…”

Abstract-We introduce a simple solution for the support of host mobility in the Internet called DIME (Dynamic Internet Mobility for End-Systems). DIME is based on dynamic address translation between the transport and network layers of end hosts, combined with a new out-of-band protocol that updates host-address bindings between communicating hosts opportunistically. It does not require modifications to the end-host operating systems, end-user applications, existing communication protocols or hardware, or the domain name system and any hostidentifier namespace. A number of experiments based on a Linux daemon implementation of DIME are used to show that DIME is deployable on a wide range of hardware, and that it outperforms existing mobility proposals such as MIPv6 and HIP across a wide range of performance metrics.

Abstract-The IP Internet architecture is such that applications must bind fixed IP addresses and ports before any other operations can be executed. These early bindings cause bottlenecks, reliability issues, and force applications and protocols to manage complex lower-layer issues. This poses a big challenge to the future of the IP Internet, given the large and growing numbers of nomadic Internet users, the shift in Internet usage from centralized servers to peer-to-peer content sharing, and the popularity of service replication and virtualization. To address these issues, we introduce and evaluate HIDRA (Hidden Identifiers for Demultiplexing and Resolution Architecture), a novel architecture that creates indirection between layers of any network stack. HIDRA enables sockets and protocols to evolve with the IP Internet by hiding all mobility, multihoming, and multiplexing issues from applications, does not induce significant overhead in the protocol stack, preserves backwards compatibility with today's Internet and applications, and does not require or preclude any additional identifiers or protocols to be used in the protocol stack.
