during the past few years, there have been a plenty of papers at sigcomm and elsewhere trying to address this problem from different angles and using different sets of ideas and tools. my classic example is name-independence in compact routing that does exactly this split with maximum scalability (see compact routing background reading in http://rr-fs.caida.org/ e.g. http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~ittaia/papers/AGMNT04.pdf or http://www.cs.tufts.edu/~cowen/tinn-spaa.ps ) but only for static networks with global view. to make it scale in the dynamic case is very hard if not impossible. to tell if it's indeed possible or impossible, at least in theory, is also impossible :) because no one yet could properly formalize the requirements. -- dima. http://www.caida.org/~dima/
