RT Conference Proceedings T1 Fault Tolerant Scalable Support for Network Portability and Traffic Engineering A1 Bagnulo Braun, Marcelo Gabriel A1 García-Martínez, Alberto A1 Azcorra Saloña, Arturo AB The P-SHIM6 architecture provides ISP independence to IPv6 sites without compromising scalability. This architecture is based on a middle-box, the P-SHIM6, which manages the SHIM6 protocol exchange on behalf of the nodes of a site, which are configured with provider independent addresses. Incoming and outgoing packets are processed by the P-SHIM6 box, which can assign different locators to a given communication, either when it is started, or dynamically after the communication has been established. As a consequence, changes required for provider portability are minimized, and fine-grained Traffic Engineering can be enforced at the P-SHIM6 box, in addition to the fault tolerance support provided by SHIM6.
