Abstract
The widespread use of the Internet and the rise of new technologies pose a set of challenges to its current architecture and shows shortcomings in routing, naming, addressing and security. To overcome these shortcomings structural changes to current Internet architecture might be needed, a difficult task in face of the conservative force that comes from the huge installed base of the current Internet. In order to address this situation, several forms of incremental introduction in the form of new technologies, protocols and applications present itself as more viable alternatives, overlay networks being one of the most prominent ones. This work intends to investigate performance issues that can impact the viability of adopting overlays as data transport over high-speed Gigabit networks, focusing on three different overlay proposals: HIP (Host Identification Protocol), i3 (Internet Indirection Infrastructure), and Hi3 (Host Identity Indirection Infrastructure).
