In the current Internet, packets are routed according to their destination
address only. Source sensitive routing consist in routing packets also
considering their source address. This is requiered in some cases in order
to
route packets correctly. It can also be used to provide alternate paths,
leading to better performance. Internal multihomed networks are a good
example
of both these applications.
Source sensitive routing requires a forwarding table able to match on
destination and source address to make its routing decision. This makes it
possible for an address to be matched by two different entries such that no
one
is more specific than the other. In that case, the choice of which entry to
use
is left to the FIB implementation of the routers, which can lead to
inconsistent
results on each router, and even to persistent routing loops.
The solution I will present consists in installing additional routing
entries in
the FIB such that for every address, the set of routing entries matching
that
address has a most specific one. I will also discuss changes in the routing
protocol, especially interoperability problems, and show some results
obtained
with our implementation in the Babel routing protocol.
