  1. An Internet Without IP Minaxi Gupta Computer Science Dept. Indiana University, Bloomington

  2. State of affairs • We are running out of IP addresses • Routing scalability is in danger • Address fragmentation • Multi-homing • Traffic engineering • Routers fail to aggregate aggregatable addresses

  3. Let’s examine identifiers • Hosts have two: names and IPs • Domains have two: prefixes and ASNs • What if we picked one for each? • Which ones? • Users rely on names

  4. What if hosts only had names? • Host names eliminate address exhaustion concerns • No need for name to IP address translation • Can we route on host names?

  5. Need a routing locator • ASNs can act as route locators • Need to translate host names to routing locators • DNS can perform the mapping

  6. Outcome • ASNs are an order of magnitude fewer => faster packet forwarding • No need for longest prefix match • What about ASN growth? • Multi-homing does not require organizations to acquire ASNs • Traffic engineering does not cause routing table growth
