My colleagues Erik Eman and Thomas Eriksson and I have just published
an Internet-Draft that tries to clarify the underlying theory and
principles of routing. It's still a work in progress, but may
provide some useful background.
Title : Routing Architecture Building Blocks: an
Informational
Taxonomy
Author(s) : H. Berkowitz et al.
Filename : draft-eriksson-rabbit-00.txt
Pages : 44
Date : 2002-10-29
This document identifies and categorizes the components of routing,
switching, forwarding, and addressing that may be used in routing
architectures. The intention is to support the development of a new
routing architecture for the Internet.
The addressing architecture, address allocation and assignment
principles, and possibilities for renumbering are important aspects
when designing a routing architecture. How routing information is
learned and methods for distributing it are other issues discussed in
this document. A number of methods for data traffic forwarding are
also described and evaluated
