Abstract
Routing on the Internet combines data plane mechanisms for forwarding traffic with
control plane protocols for guaranteeing connectivity and optimizing routes (e.g.,
shortest-paths and load distribution). We propose data-driven connectivity (DDC), a
new routing approach that achieves the fundamental connectivity guarantees in the
data plane rather than the control plane, while keeping the more complex
requirements of route optimization in the control plane. DDC enables faster
recovery from failures and easier implementation of control plane optimization.
