Abstract

TurfNet is a novel internetworking architecture that enables communication among autonomous and heterogeneous network domains. The architecture uses a global identity namespace and does not require global addressing or a shared internetworking protocol. It integrates the new concept of dynamic network composition with other recent architectural concepts, such as decoupling locators from identifiers. This paper examines whether TurfNet's naming and inter-domain routing architecture can scale to networks of the size of the global Internet. The paper uses existing research into the topology of the Internet's autonomous system graph and related results that quantify typical traffic patterns to analyze the scalability and performance of the TurfNet architecture on similar internetwork topologies.
