Hi,
for those who missed it: KIRA is a Routing Architecture that
offers scalable zero-touch routing for control planes, i.e.,
it does not have any manual configuration dependencies to provide a
reliable control plane fabric. This is extremely useful for resilient
networks and I'd really like to see it standardized by the IETF.
I updated the Internet Draft by mainly adding missing descriptions
for protocol messages and their handling. Please have a look
and provide feedback. More background and also presentations, running
code, etc. can be found at https://s.kit.edu/KIRA
A new version of Internet-Draft draft-bless-rtgwg-kira-01.txt has been
successfully submitted by Roland Bless and posted to the
IETF repository.

Abstract:
This document describes the Kademlia-directed ID-based Routing
Architecture KIRA. KIRA offers highly scalable zero-touch IPv6
connectivity, i.e., it can connect hundred thousands of routers and
devices in a single network (without requiring any form of hierarchy
like areas). It is self-organizing to achieve a zero-touch solution
that provides resilient (control plane) IPv6 connectivity without
requiring any manual configuration by operators. It works well in
various topologies and is loop-free even during convergence. The
architecture consists of the ID-based network layer routing protocol
R²/Kad in its routing tier and a Path-ID-based forwarding tier. The
topological independent IDs can be embedded into IPv6 addresses, so
that KIRA provides zero-touch IPv6 connectivity between KIRA nodes.
Best regards,
Roland
