Using Mobility Support for Request-Routing in IPv6 CDNs

چکیده
Content distribution networks have become widespread in the current IPv4-based Internet, and request-routing in CDNs today are primarily based on DNS mechanisms. This paper considers request-routing in CDNs as and when IPv6 networks begin to be deployed. Unlike IPv4, IPv6 includes explicit support for host mobility. Specifically, the functionality and mechanisms of a separate protocol, such as mobile IP (in IPv4), is part of the IPv6 protocol definition. In this paper, we illustrate that packet routing to and from mobile hosts has a strong conceptual similarity with wide-area request routing in CDNs. We then present schemes where different variations of request routing in IPv6 based CDNs are all accomplished via the same IPv6 mechanisms that are used to support mobility. These schemes will eliminate the need for a separate infrastructure, like the DNS, to perform request-routing in IPv6 CDNs.

A Platform for Request Routing in Content Distribution Internetworks
In this paper we discuss issues of design of a platform that can support effectively the internetworking of independent Content Delivery Networks (CDNs). Specifically, our work focuses on the design of the Request-Routing Internetworking System (RRIS), i.e. the entity responsible for forwarding client requests to the CDNs that can best satisfy them. In order to take routing decisions, the RRIS ...
متن کاملMobility Support in IPv6 Based on the VIP Mechanism
IPv6, the successor of current IP (IPv4), is now under development. Mobility support is one of the requirements for IPv6. This paper proposes a protocol for mobility support in IPv6. The proposed protocol is based on the mechanisms of Virtual Internet Protocol (VIP), which provides mobility in IPv4. Two Hop-by-Hop options are added to support mobility, one for user data and another for control....
متن کاملDiameter Support for Proxy Mobile IPv6 Localized Routing
In Proxy Mobile IPv6, packets received from a Mobile Node (MN) by the Mobile Access Gateway (MAG) to which it is attached are typically tunneled to a Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) for routing. The term "localized routing" refers to a method by which packets are routed directly between an MN’s MAG and the MAG of its Correspondent Node (CN) without involving any LMA. In a Proxy Mobile IPv6 deployme...
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Timely Transmission of Solicitation Messages in RPL for Energy-Efficient Node Mobility
The IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks (RPL) was proposed for various applications of IPv6 low power wireless networks. While RPL supports various routing metrics and is designed to be suitable for wireless sensor network environments, it does not consider the mobility of nodes. Therefore, there is a need for a method that is energy efficient and that provides stable and rel...
