RFP-2007-039
Title:
Routing and Addressing (open call)
Summary:
This RFP is part of the Routing and Addressing Research Area (RARA) of the Cisco Research Center (CRC), and is designed to cover aspects of the Routing and Addressing problem that are not specifically covered by other RPFs in the RARA.
Full Description:
While investigation into scalable Internet routing protocols has been an area of active research for many years, few feasible (deployable) proposals have emerged. Topics in this space have included control plane performance, in terms of state (e.g., size of the RIB and/or FIB), rate (e.g., routing table updates), and stretch optimization. Many algorithms have been proposed to solve parts of the problem (e.g., compact routing), but efficient and deployable solutions have remained illusive. As such, further investigation is required to gain an in-depth understanding of the behavior of the existing Internet, as well as for potential future and emerging Internet architectures. This RFP is designed to cover research proposals that are not covered by other CRC RFPs in the RARA.
Constraints and other information:
IPR will stay with the University. Cisco expects customary scholarly dissemination of results, and hopes that promising results would be made available to the community without limiting licenses, royalties, or other encumbrances.
