Secure and Scalable Interdomain Routing Architecture for the Future Internet: SSIR

Abstract

It has been extensively renowned that the present Internet routing scheme faces severe scalability and security concerns and one should obtain a new look at original routing architectures. So as to deal with these different severe issues, the Internet community has planned an abundance of approaches. For instance, to facilitate the security concerns, IP security (IPsec) mechanism and the secure border gateway protocol (secure-BGP) are presented. To facilitate the scalability issue, a hybrid link state and path-vector inter-domain routing protocol (HLP) is presented. Unfortunately, most proposals mostly listened on civilizing the security and scalability of the present Internet. In this paper, we propose a scalable and secure inter domain routing architecture for a potential Internet. The proposed architecture is called SSIR as it exclusively incorporates four current ideas: locator/identifier disjointing, client network/provider network division, self-certifying identifiers, and routing with facility. We examine the design confronts in incorporating these ideas and propose strategies to deal with these challenges. We examine the achievability of SSIR by outcomes from emulations and analyses. We show that SSIR is not only scalable and secure, but also capable of supporting efficient mobility. Simulation scenario is carried out for user based internet routing architecture and its performance is evaluated for varying topologies with measuring metrics such as security, scalability and mobility.
