Scaling the Internet routing table with Locator/ID...

Google Tech Talks June 12, 2007 ABSTRACT This talk introduces a routing protocol approach (Locator/ID Separation Protocol) to solving the scaling problem of the global Internet routing table. The Problem: At the October '06 IAB meeting in Amsterdam the highest priority takeaway was the need to devise a scalable routing and addressing system for the Internet.
