The NAROS Approach for IPv6 Multihoming with Traffic
Engineering
Cédric de Launois, Olivier Bonaventure and Marc Lobelle
Once multihomed, an IPv6 site usually wants to engineer its interdomain
traffic. We propose that IPv6 multihomed hosts inquire a so called
``Name, Address and ROute System'' (NAROS) to determine the source and
destination addresses to use to contact a destination node.
By selecting these addresses, the NAROS server roughly determines the routing.
It thereby provides features like traffic engineering and fault tolerance,
without transmitting any BGP advertisement and without impacting on the
worldwide routing table size.
The performance of the NAROS server is evaluated by using trace-driven
simulations. We show that the the load on the NAROS server is reasonable
and that we can obtain good load-balancing performances.
