Hi,
a new version of the KIRA Internet-Draft has been published.
I'm looking forward to get any feedback on the list!
I'd really like to standardize KIRA in the IETF since I see it
as important building block for resilient autonomic
management (see also
https://www.ietf.org/slides/slides-nemopsws-paper-an-invariant-for-future-resilient-network-management-operations-00.pdf).
I'd also encourage people to try implementing it.
Some changes:
* used CDDL for message specifications
* added sections about Fast Vicinity Alternatives and Forwarding Tier
Functionality
* some clarifications and rephrasing
For the MANET folks: the Fast Vicinity Alternatives improved KIRA's
performance in MANETs a lot.
Regards,
Roland

Abstract:
This document describes the Kademlia-directed ID-based Routing
Architecture KIRA. KIRA is a scalable zero-touch distributed routing
solution that is tailored to control planes. It prioritizes scalable
and resilient connectivity over route efficiency (stretched paths are
acceptable vs. routing protocol overhead). KIRA's self-assigned
topological independent IDs can be embedded into IPv6 addresses.
Combined with further self-organization mechanisms from Kademlia,
KIRA achieves a zero-touch solution that provides scalable IPv6
connectivity without requiring any manual configuration. For
example, it can connect hundreds of thousands of routers and devices
in a single network without requiring any form of hierarchy (like
areas). It works well in various topologies and is loop-free even
during convergence. This self-contained solution, and especially the
independence from any manual configuration, make it suitable as
resilient base for all management and control tasks, allowing to
recover from the most complex failure scenarios. The architecture
consists of the ID-based network layer routing protocol R²/Kad in its
Routing Tier (using source routing) and a PathID-based Forwarding
Tier (using PathIDs as labels for paths). KIRA’s tightly integrated
add-on services (e.g., name resolution as well as fast and efficient
topology discovery) provide a perfect basis for autonomic network
management solutions.
