Biography

Luigi Iannone is currently an Associate Professor at Telecom ParisTech, in Paris, since May 2012. He was previously Senior Research Scientist at Deutsche Telekom Innovation Laboratories (T-Labs), in Berlin, between September 2008 and April 2012. Before that, he worked as post-doc researcher at Université catholique de Louvain (UCL - Belgium) in 2007/2008. From 2002 to 2007 he worked at the Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI - France), first as Ph.D. candidate until 2006, when he has got his Ph.D. in Computer Science, and later as post-doc. Before that, he got a degree in Computer Engineering from the Università degli Studi di Pisa (Italy). His current research interests include intra- and inter- domain routing, Future Internet architectures, as well as mobility, wireless networks, and wired/wireless convergence. He is currently serving on the editorial board of Elsevier Computer Networks Journal and he is also Co-Chair of the LISP WG at the IETF.

🎤 OpenLISP: Open source Locator/ID Separation Protocol implementation
31 Jan 2015 show details

Due to scalability issues that the current Internet is facing, the research community has re-discovered the Locator/ID Split paradigm. Among the various proposals, the most successful is LISP (Locator/ID Separation Protocol), which is currently discussed at the IETF and strongly pushed by Cisco.The talk overviews OpenLISP (www.openlisp.org), an open source implementation of LISP. The talk is organized in two parts. A first part will overview the main principles of LISP and the way it works. The second part, which is also the main part of the presentation, will describe the kernel implementation work done.

In the last years both academia and industry have worked toward new Internet architecture proposals, due to the awareness that the current architecture is facing unforeseen scalability issues, concerning the restless increase of the BGP routing tables, addressing, mobility, multihoming, and inter-domain traffic engineering. The general consensus is that splitting the locator and identifier roles of IP addresses solves these issues and is necessary for the Future Internet architecture. However, in practice, several constraints have to be taken into account in order to design a viable solution that can be incrementally deployed, without disrupting the existing communication infrastructure, whilst providing benefits, hence incentives, for early adopters. An instance of such a paradigm is the Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP). LISP was first proposed by Cisco in the IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) and is now under development in the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). Aiming at being incrementally deployable, LISP has evolved from its initial design in order to accommodate the constraints that the current Internet imposes, but still offering an effective solution for the scalability issues. Our goal is not to convince the reader about the merits of LISP, or the general Locator/ID Split paradigm, and neither to provide numerical results of its performance. Rather, the talk aims providing an overview on how LISP works and what are the basic principles, including its implementation aspects.
