  1. Name-based Shim6: A name-based approach to host mobility Zhongxing Ming Javier Ubillos Mingwei Xu Tsinghua University

  2. Name-based Sockets - The Problem addr = gethostbyname (someString ); …… connect( …, addr, … ); write( … ); close( … ); connect (…, addr, …); write( … ); colse( … ); • FQDN resolution and IP management is dealt with by the application • All cool stuff have to be implemented by the application. • Mobility • Multi-homing • IPv4/IPv6 agnosticism • NA(P)T traversal • Path diversity exploitation • Etc… Tsinghua University

  3. Socket abstractions • Developers seem to like them… • One implementation for every framework • More often than not • Resolve once • Resue IP • Resue IP • Resue IP • Resue IP • Resue IP • …… Tsinghua University

  4. Cherry picking • Provide the socket abstraction developers like. • Do allow all the cool functions of surrogate addresses • But don’t introduce new indirections • And be explicit about that it is different Tsinghua University

  5. The approach Host Network • New API • Not binary compatible • A session layer • Easy transition Minor changes or none Compatible Middle-boxes unaffected Tsinghua University

  6. How is this different? Application Transport SCTP Name-based sockets Network HIP Outside the host LISP Tsinghua University

  7. API • listen() – Prep for incoming session • Fd = listen(src_name, dst_name, local_port, transport); • open() – Initiate outgoing sesion • Fd = open(src_name, dst_name, remote_port, transport); • accept() – Receive incoming session • (src_name, dst_name, fd) = accept(fd); • read() – Receive data • Data = read(fd); • write() – Send data • Write(fd, data); • close() – Close session • Close(fd); Tsinghua University

  8. Mobile NBS • It has been a long struggle to manage mobility in today’s IP networks. • NBS allows mobile device users to move from one network to another while maintaining the connection. • DNS and Shim6 is involved to support mobile NBS • No triangular routing • Fast handover • Good reliability Tsinghua University

  9. ULID Update NBS src_name dst_name Before shim6 state establishment src_ip dst_ip NBS Shim6 hash(src_name) hash(dst_name) src_name dst_name src_loc dst_loc hash(src_name) hash(dst_name) After shim6 state establishment Tsinghua University

  13. Implementation & Evaluation Tsinghua University

  14. Performance Throughput graph during movement Handover time for different IEEE 802.11b cards Tsinghua University

  15. DNS Delay • Bernhard Age et al studies various DNS resolvers around • the world and found that there • are only less than 1\% of the • cases for which DNS resolvers • take more that 100ms to answer • Concurrent move is not very • likely to occur • Thus DNS delay won’t be a • problem in practice Tsinghua University

  16. Summary Propose and implement name-based sockets as a socket-API abstraction so that an application developer may use names instead of IP-addresses. improve Shim6 and integrate it with name-based sockets to provide mobility functionality. Evaluate the performance of the proposed mechanism using a real testbed. Tsinghua University
