Abstract: We present a scalable VC routing protocol based on the viewserver hierarchy. Each viewserver maintains a partial view of the network. By querying these viewservers, a source obtains a merged view that contains a path to the destination. The source then sends a setup request packet over this path to reserve resources. We use simulation to compare our protocol to a simple approach that maintains a full view of the network. In addition to the savings in storage, our protocol performs as well or better in terms of the VC carried load and blocking probability over a wide range of real-time workload.
