<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Abstract</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Conventional wisdom has held that routing protocols
can not achieve both scalability and high availability. Despite scaling rather
well, today's Internet routing system does not react quickly to changing network
conditions. Overlay networks, on the other hand, can respond quickly to changing
network conditions, but their reliance on aggressive probing does not scale to
large topologies. This project presents a resilient layered routing architecture
called UFO (Underlay Friendly to Overlays), which achieves the best of both
worlds by providing router support for overlay routing mechanisms. UFO comprises
two changes to existing routers: (i) data-plane support for deflection packets
at the behest of the overlay and (ii) explicit notification about significant
changes in network conditions. We present these two mechanisms, and demonstrate
how they facilitate the scalable deployment of overlay routing mechanisms at the
network layer. Prototype is implemented based on PL-VINI platform,
with preliminary evaluation results.</FONT></DIV>
