|
|
| 1. | Managing Bandwidth Growth |
OC3 grows to OC12 Grows to OC48 in a year
One national network is not sufficient for all connections
OC3 connections run out of gas this fall
DSL Ciruits to subscribers outstrips OC48 capability FAST!
Present growth is 25% per month |
| 2. | Allow more localization of traffic |
CIDR addressing limits regionalization |
| 3. | SPAM |
Realtime Black Hole (Paul Vixie, Dave Rand and two others manage this.)
RBL about 400 entries as of now |
| 4. | Mixing of Internal and Internet Addresses |
| 5. | Router Limits |
Currently 20K packets/second - not fast enough for end of 1998 |
| 6. | Smurf Attacks - Forged request to broadcast addresses |
Karl Denniger posts list of sites that have facilitated Smurfs
backbone routers and NOC's can not address in Real Time
Solution is to filter IP at the first IP location (dial port)
RBL concerned with SPAM not Smurf attacks |
| 7. | Net Stability |
Roughly 1 billion routing updates in a 24 hour period
Class C addresses where most updates occures |
| 8. | IP Addresses |
Only used 30% of IPV4 addresses
CIDR removes regionalization |
