  1. LISP-NERDRRG (IETF 69) Eliot Lear

  2. NERD is… • A Not-So-novel EID to RLOC Database • A signed set of mappings • A suggested initial distribution mechanism- HTTP • A push model approach • draft-lear-lisp-nerd-01.txt

  3. Guiding Principles and Assumptions • This is provisioned data - it is relatively static • There is some “other” means to communicate operational state changes • In-flight packet loss or delay is bad for applications • The data does not change from hop to hop • We are scaling to between 107 and 108 mappings (2050) • Beg, Borrow, Steal • PKI works best with few signers and many verifiers - sign once and don’t care about path

  4. NERD Process: Getting The Database to Authorities • There exists one or more database authorities that manage mappings for some portion of the EID address space • The end user communication to these authorities is similar to that of name service registrars • NERD database authorities collect and validate mapping requests • Authorities then produce a SIGNED database of entries, as well as a SIGNED set of changes from previous versions

  5. NERD Process: Getting the data to ITRs • When ITR boots first time it retrieves a full copy of the database via HTTP • Caches are strategically placed and common CDN technologies are used to direct request • ITRs periodically request updates through same CDN • Optionally an ITR can request via its BGP neighbor or from a configured source the database and updates

  6. ITR ITR ETR Pictoral Sign-and-push netnews Authority http server http cache ??? P2P Pull to Site Pull to Site Register RLOCs admin

  7. Some Sloppy Math 16 bytes for first RLOC 8 bytes for each Additional RLOC

  8. With That In Mind

  9. What Does That Mean? • A daily 0.1% of 720MB change using just 100 servers takes 24 seconds to transmit on 1gb wire

  10. Use of a PKI • Makes some operators shake in their boots • This is not the common use • Allows for separation of data format from distribution mechanisms • By default can be hidden from operators

  11. Questions • Do we really need a “pull model” given the amount of data? • How many sources are there really? • Who can be those sources? • Who owns the mapping? • Can we mix and match NERD with other things?
