RT Journal Article T1 Analytical Characterization of Failure Recovery in REAP A1 Oliva Delgado, Antonio de la A1 Soto Campos, Ignacio A1 García Martínez, Alberto A1 Bagnulo Braun, Marcelo Gabriel A1 Azcorra Saloña, Arturo AB This paper characterizes analytically the performance of REAchability Protocol (REAP), a network layerend-to-end recovery protocol for IPv6. REAP was developed by the IETF SHIM6 Working Group as partof its multihoming solution. The behavior of REAP is governed by a small number of parameters: threetimers, a simple characterization of the application traffic, and the communication delay. The key figureof merit of REAP performance is the time to recover from a path failure as seen by the upper layers, figurethat cannot be trivially obtained, despite the apparent simplicity of this reachability protocol. In thispaper we provide upper bounds for the recovery time of REAP for different deployment scenarios, applyingthese analytical results to two interesting case studies, TCP and VoIP traffic.
