SUMMARY:Addressing the Scalability of Ethernet with MOOSE - Malcolm Scott

DESCRIPTION:Ethernet does not scale well to large networks.  The flat MAC 
 address space\, whilst having obvious benefits for the user and administra
 tor\, is the primary cause of this poor scalability\; other recent efforts
  to improve upon Ethernet's scalability have addressed symptoms\, rather t
 han this underlying cause.  In this paper we present MOOSE\, Multi-level O
 rigin-Organised Scalable Ethernet\, an Ethernet switch architecture that p
 erforms in-place rewriting of MAC addresses in order to impose a hierarchy
  upon the address space without reconfiguration or modification of connect
 ed devices.  This removes the need for switches to maintain large forwardi
 ng databases\, is of direct use in implementing improved routing\, and all
 ows for a variety of other scalability and security innovations.\n\nThis i
 s a practice talk for the DC CAVES workshop\, colocated with ITC.\n
