In-Kernel End-System Multihoming with ILNP
Gregor Haywood
We describe how the FreeBSD kernel was extended to facilitate multihoming and network mobility for UDP and TCP without changing the sockets API. Our solution -- the Identifier-Locator Network Protocol (ILNP) -- is an evolution of IPv6 that only requires updates to end systems. We show unmodified applications using the modified kernel to benefiting from network-layer mobility and multihoming over the global IPv6 Internet without requiring the cooperation or knowledge of ISPs, or modifications to existing infrastructure.
