[OOR-Users] Adding packet multiplexing to Openoverlayrouter

[Jose Saldana]

Hi,

 

Our group in University of Zaragoza has just posted an IETF draft in the
LISP Working Group:
<https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-saldana-lisp-compress-mux/>
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-saldana-lisp-compress-mux/.

 

Title: “Header compression and multiplexing in LISP”
draft-saldana-lisp-compress-mux-00

 

We have built an implementation as a fork of Lispmob:
<https://github.com/Simplemux/lispmob-with-simplemux>
https://github.com/Simplemux/lispmob-with-simplemux. We have added the
possibility of sending a number of small packets together when they are in
the buffer.

 

Abstract

 

   When small payloads are transmitted through a packet-switched

   network, the resulting overhead may result significant.  This is

   stressed in the case of LISP, where a number of headers are prepended

   to a packet, as new headers have to be added to each packet.

 

   This document proposes to send together a number of small packets,

   which are in the buffer of a ITR, having the same ETR as destination,

   into a single packet.  Therefore, they will share a single LISP

   header, and therefore bandwidth savings can be obtained, and a

   reduction in the overall number of packets sent to the network can be

   achieved.

 

The idea is very similar to what was published in this paper:

Your feedback will be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance,
