Title: Enhanced Compression of Interdomain SDN Policies at Internet
Exchange Points

Abstract

Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) with Software-Defined Networking (SDN)
capabilities are a promising way of shaping the future of interdomain
traffic delivery on the Internet---allowing IXP participants to express
flexible SDN policies on interdomain traffic. Unfortunately, it has proven
difficult to compile interdomain traffic policies into forward table sizes
reasonable for available commodity switches, and indeed this shows in
state-of-the-art SDN-IXP implementations. To compile interdomain traffic
SDN policies, available prefix routes must be factored in to ensure
correctness, resulting in a forwarding table size explosion. To address the
explosion problem, new compression techniques of forwarding table entries
are required. In this talk, we discuss the design and analysis of such a
compression technique, which allows near-optimal compilation size of SDN
policies for IXPs with large numbers of participants
