LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay
Abstract
This draft specifies the LISP Single-Hop Distributed Hash Table
Mapping Overlay (LISP-SHDHT), a distributed mapping database which
embodies SHDHT Nodes to maintain (Key, value) pairs for LISP
(Locator/ID Separation Protocol)-like architecture, wherein every
(key value) pair is according to an EID(Endpoint ID)-to-RLOC(Routing
Locator) mapping information entry. According to this strategy, EID
is hashed to be a unique Resource ID which is used for locating
destiny DHT Node who maintains mapping entry for the particular EID.
Furthermore, adaptive hash space partition method is adopted to solve
the load balance problem on SHDHT Nodes which is common on
traditional DHT planes.

Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
1. Introduction
Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) [I-D.ietf-lisp] specifies an
architecture and mechanism for replacing the address currently used
by IP with two separate name spaces: Endpoint IDs (EIDs), used within
LISP sites, and Routing Locators (RLOCs), used on transit networks
that make up the Internet infrastructure. To achieve this
separation, LISP defines protocol mechanisms for mapping from EIDs to
RLOCs. As a result, an efficient database is needed to store and
propagate those mappings globally. Several such mapping databases
have been proposed, among them: LISP-NERD [I-D.lear-lisp-nerd], LISP-
ALT[I-D.ietf-lisp-alt], LISP-DDT[I-D.fuller-lisp-ddt], and LISP-DHT
[I-D.fuller-lisp-ddt].
According to hybrid model databases such like LISP-ALT
[I-D.ietf-lisp-alt] and LISP-DDT [I-D.fuller-lisp-ddt], architectures
of these mapping databases are based on announcement/delegation of
hierarchically-delegated segments of EID namespace (i.e., prefixes).
Therefore, based on these architectures, when a roaming event occurs
and a LISP site or a LISP MN receives new RLOCs, the site or MN has
to anchor pre-configured map-server to register its new mapping
information no matter where the site or MN currently locates, just in
order to protect EID prefixes announced aggregately in the database
[I-D.meyer-lisp-mn].
As a DHT strategy based mapping database, LISP-DHT
[I-D.mathy-lisp-dht] exhibits several interesting properties, such as
self-configuration, self-maintenance, scalability and robustness that
are clearly desirable for a EID-to-RLOC resolution service. However,
this database is based on multi-hop Chord DHT. On one hand,
inquiries of mapping information in this case need to pass through
iterative multi-hop lookup steps which will cause relatively large
delay time. On the other hand, load balance between Chord nodes is
another essential problem need to be solved.
This draft specifies a Single-Hop Distributed Hash Table Mapping
Overlay (LISP-SHDHT) which provides mapping information lookup
service for sites running LISP. Main characters of this strategy is
that,
1. Each SHDHT Node maintains routing information for all other SHDHT
Nodes. Thus, messages interaction between SHDHT Nodes in the
same SHDHT overlay just need one or two hops.
2. Traditionally, Node IDs are used to identify DHT nodes and
represent hash space arrangement on DHT nodes. In SHDHT
strategy, the two roles are separated. Partition IDs are adopted
for hash space arrangement and a build-in load balancing solution
Cheng & Sun Expires April 25, 2013 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
is designed.
This draft specifies the outline of SHDHT and the basic application
of LISP SHDHT. In actual deployment of LISP SHDHT, mapping database
could be maintained by operators and could be deployed as
collaborative combination of multiple domain LISP SHDHTs. Deployment
of collaborative domain LISP SHDHTs is for future study, as well as
the security strategies on/between domain LISP SHDHTs.

2. Definition of Terms
This draft uses terms defined in [I-D.ietf-lisp]. This section
defines some new terms used in this document.
SHDHT: Single-Hop Distributed Hash Table Mapping Overlay.
SHDHT Node: Physical nodes which compose SHDHT overlay's topology.
Each SHDHT Node has a unique Node ID and maintains multiple hash
space segments which labeled by Partition IDs. Each SHDHT Node
maintains a Node Routing Table of local SHDHT Mapping Overlay.
SHDHT Nodes locates in the same Mapping Overlay implement hash
operation based on the same hash algorithm. SHDHT Nodes hash data
object to be a unique Resource ID, and perform put/get/move
operations based on the Resource IDs.
Node ID: Node identifier, which is used for maintenance. Each SHDHT
Node has a unique Node ID. The ring containing Node IDs indicates
overlay's topology.
Partition ID: Partition identifier, which is used for hash space
assignment. Partition IDs and Resource IDs share the same hash
space. All Partition IDs in overlay are unique. Each SHDHT Node
could have multiple Partition IDs. The ring containing Partition
IDs determines how the hash space is partitioned into segments and
how these segments are assigned to nodes.
Resource ID: Each data object stored in DHT overlay could be hashed
to be a unique Resource ID. In LISP-SHDHT strategy, data objects
are according to the EIDs. Resource IDs share the same hash space
with Partition IDs. As a result, SHDHT Nodes perform data objects
put/get/remove operations based on these IDs.
Node Routing Table: Routing table of a SHDHT Mapping Overlay which
contains all SHDHT Nodes information of this overly, including
Node IDs, Partition IDs and Node IP addresses, etc. Each SHDHT
Node of this overly will maintain the Routing Table.
SHDHT Map Server: A SHDHT Node that also implements Map Server
functionality (forwarding Map-Requests and/or return Map Replies
if offering proxy Map-Reply service) for mapping entries it
maintains.
SHDHT Map Resolver: A SHDHT Node that also implements Map Resolver
functionality (accepting Map-Requests, hash the requested EID to
be Resource ID, and then forward Map-Requests to corresponding
SHDHT Map Server based on Resource ID). Furthermore, in this
document SHDHT Map Resolver could perform as proxy for Map-

Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
Register. SHDHT Map Resolver could accept register messages and
forward them to SHDHT Map Servers.

3. SHDHT Overview
3.1. Node ID and Partition ID
Most of existing DHTs use node IDs for both maintenance and hash
space arrangement. For example, in LISP-DHT[I-D.mathy-lisp-dht],
each chord node of the DHT ring has a unique k-bits identifier
(ChordID). Nodes perform operations such like put/get/remove based
on ChordIDs. Furthermore, ChordIDs are also used to associate nodes
with hash space segments that the nodes responsible for.
In SHDHT, two roles of maintenance and hash space arrangement are
separated and a new kind identifier called Partition ID is adopted.
Each SHDHT node has a unique Node ID which identifies the physical
node and multiple Partition IDs which represent hash space segments.
All Partition IDs in the overlay are also unique. Node IDs and
Partition IDs are mapped into two ring-shaped spaces respectively.
The ring containing Node IDs indicates the overlay's topology. The
ring containing Partition IDs determines how the hash space is
partitioned into segments and how these segments are assigned to
nodes. It is noteworthy that SHDHT Nodes could determine number of
Partition IDs on them separately and could generate Partition IDs
randomly just need to make sure that the generated Partition IDs will
not conflict with existing Partition IDs on the SHDHT plane.

Fig.1 SHDHT Deployment Example
As shown in Fig.1 is an example of SHDHT. This SHDHT overlay is
consist of four SHDHT NODEs each has a unique Node ID and maintains
two Partition IDs. According to this deployment, hash space is
partitioned to be eight segments each is indexed by a Partition ID.
From Fig. I, it could be observed that hash space segments are not
required to be partitioned equally. As SHDHT Nodes could general
Cheng & Sun Expires April 25, 2013 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
Partition IDs separately, when a SHDHT Node gets all hash segments
assignment information for other SHDHT Nodes, it will be able to
implement the load balance of SHDHT overlay by general proper
Partition IDs.
In SHDHT, each SHDHT Node stores and maintains data objects. Data
objects are indexed by Resource IDs which share the same hash space
with Partition IDs and will locate in the hash space segments whose
Partition IDs are closest to their Resource IDs.
For example, for a data object whose Resource ID is 0x8213, the
Resource ID locates between Partition ID 0x7000 and Partition ID
0x9000. As Partition ID 0x9000 is closer to Resource ID 0x8213, the
data object will be stored and maintained on Node2 who is assigned
with the hash space segment indexed by Partition ID 0x9000.
3.2. Data Storage and Hash Assignment
In traditional DHTs, hash space is partitioned into segments based on
node IDs. As a result, data objects are always stored in their root
nodes, whose node IDs are "closest" to data objects' Resource IDs.
What does "closes" means? Suppose we have three consecutive
Partition IDs a, b and c which are the only Partition IDs in SHDHT
for our example, then the range of each hash space segment is defined
as follow:
Partition ID a: [id(a)-0.5*d(c,a); id(a)+0.5*d(a,b))
Partition ID b: [id(b)-0.5*d(a,b); id(b)+0.5*d(b,c))
Partition ID c: [id(c)-0.5*d(b,c); id(c)+0.5*d(c,a))
with functions
id(x): value of Partition ID x in hash space
d(x,y): distance between Partition ID x and y in hash space
Replications of data objects in a particular node are always stored
in the preceding node or successor node of the root node. The backup
preceding node or successor node will automatically become the new
closest node if the root node leaves the overlay.
In SHDHT, the whole hash space is partitioned into segments based on
partition IDs. The root node of a data object is the node, which has
the closest partition ID to the data object's Resource ID. In SHDHT,
each node can maintain multiple hash space segments with respective
Cheng & Sun Expires April 25, 2013 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
Partition IDs. As the preceding Partition ID or successor Partition
ID may be owned by the same root node. Replication of data objects
could still be stored in preceding node or successor node of root
node.
3.3. Node Routing Table
In SHDHT, each node maintains a Node Routing Table containing routing
information for all other SHDHT Nodes locate in the same SHDHT
overlay. Table I shows the Node Routing Table on SHDHT Nodes of
Fig.1. A Node Routing Table contains all Partition IDs and their
associated Node IDs and node addresses. For simplification, Node IDs
and Partition IDs shown in the draft are only 16-bit numbers.
When SHDHT Node receives a message points to a particular Resource
ID, it could look up Node Routing Table and find out the Partition ID
which is closest to the Resource ID. Furthermore, message could be
transferred to the corresponding SHDHT Node.
+--------------+---------+---------------+
| Partition ID | Node ID | Address |
+--------------+---------+---------------+
| 0x1234 | 0x0123 | 10.0.0.2:2000 |
| 0x3234 | 0x4444 | 10.0.0.3:2000 |
| 0x5000 | 0xe000 | 10.0.0.4:2000 |
| 0x7000 | 0x0123 | 10.0.0.2:2000 |
| 0x9000 | 0x4444 | 10.0.0.3:2000 |
| 0xaaaa | 0xc000 | 10.0.0.5:2000 |
| 0xcccc | 0xc000 | 10.0.0.5:2000 |
| 0xeeee | 0xe000 | 10.0.0.4:2000 |
+--------------+---------+---------------+
TABLE II SHDHT Node Routing Table
For example, if Node 1 (ID: 0x1234) in Fig.1 needs to implement put/
get/remove operations for a data object with Resource ID 0x8213.
Node 1 first lookups its Node Routing Table and finds out that the
closest Partition ID to this Resource ID is 0x9000. Then Node 1 will
send put/get/remove request to the node owns the Partiton ID, in
Fig.1 is Node2, whose Node ID is 0x4444 and address is 10.0.0.3:2000.

4. LISP SHDHT
LISP SHDHT is proposed to provide "EID-to-RLOC(s)" mapping
information lookup service for sites running the Locator/ID
Separation Protocol (LISP).
In LISP SHDHT, mapping overlay consists of SHDHT Nodes which play
roles of SHDHT Map Server and/or SHDHT Map Resolver. In this draft
SHDHT-MS and SHDHT-MR just represent function entities, and these
entities could be collocated on the same SHDHT Node.
All EID-to-RLOC mapping entries are stored in SHDHT Nodes as data
objects. Each SHDHT Node has a RLOC address. EIDs in mapping
entries can be hashed as Resource IDs of data objects. All SHDHT
Nodes in the same SHDHT overly perform hash operation based on the
same hash algorithm.
Data objects stored in LISP SHDHT Nodes may be in the following
format:
Object (lisp) = [EID prefix, (RLOC1, priority, weight),
...,RLOCn, priority, weight), TTL ]
4.1. ITR Operation
According to LISP-MS [I-D.ietf-lisp-ms], LISP ITRs use Map Resolvers
as proxy to send control messages, such like encapsulated Map-
Requests and Map-Replies.
In Scenario of LISP SHDHT, an ITR send Map-Requests directely to the
SHDHT Node which is selected to play roles of SHDHT Map Resolver for
the ITR.
4.2. ETR Operation
According to LISP-MS [I-D.ietf-lisp-ms], LISP ETRs register mapping
information onto the Map Server by sending Map-Register messages.
In scenario of LISP SHDHT, ETR could send Map-Register messages
directely to the SHDHT Node which play roles of SHDHT Map Server for
the registered EIDs.
Alternatively, ETRs could send Map-Register messages to a nearest
SHDHT Node who will hash registered mapping entries to be Resource
IDs. Then, the SHDHT Node forwards Map-Register messages to the
corresponding SHDHT Map Servers based on Resource IDs. This
alternative strategy will be more efficient for roaming scenario.
Furthermore, ETRs are no longer anchoring to fixed SHDHT Map Server
Cheng & Sun Expires April 25, 2013 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
Nodes, and ISPs who operate mapping overlays could arrange hash space
onto SHDHT Nodes more autonomously and could perform better load
balance among SHDHT Nodes.
4.3. SHDHT Map Resolver Operation
In LISP SHDHT, when a SHDHT Map Resolver receives a Map-Request
message from an ITR, it will perform the following operations,
1. SHDHT Map Resolver extracts destination EID address from the Map-
Request message.
2. SHDHT Map Resolver hash the EID address to be Resource ID based
on the shared hash algorithm.
3. SHDHT Map Resolver looks up Node Routing Table and find out the
Partition ID which matches the Resource ID.
4. SHDHT Map Resolver forward Map-Request message to the
Corresponding SHDHT Node. This SHDHT Node maintains the hash
space labeled by matched Partition ID and plays the role of SHDHT
Map Server for the requested mapping entry.
In LISP SHDHT, when a SHDHT Map Resolver receives a Map-Register
message from an ETR, it will perform the following operations,
1. SHDHT Map Resolver extracts registered EID information of the
Map-Register message.
2. SHDHT Map Resolver hash the registered EID address to be Resource
ID based on shared hash algorithm.
3. SHDHT Map Resolver looks up Node Routing Table and find out the
Partition ID which matches the Resource ID.
4. SHDHT Map Resolver forward Map-Register message to the
Corresponding SHDHT Map Server.
4.4. SHDHT Map Server Operation
In LISP SHDHT, when a SHDHT Map Server receives a Map-Request
message, it will perform the following operations,
1. SHDHT Map Server first check if it is responsible for the
requested mapping entry, i.e. if it has a hash space whose
Partition ID matches Resource ID of the requested EID.
Cheng & Sun Expires April 25, 2013 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft LISP Single-Hop DHT Mapping Overlay October 2012
2. SHDHT Map Server then looks for data objects in its hash space
according to the matched Partition ID.
3. If there's no data object according to the requested EID, SHDHT
Map Server response a negative Map-Reply message.
4. If there's a data object according to the requested EID, SHDHT
Map Server will forward the Map-Request to registered ETR or
return Map-Reply message if it offers proxy Map-Reply service.
In LISP SHDHT, when a SHDHT Map Server receives a Map-Register
message, it will perform the following operations,
1. SHDHT Map Server first checks if it is responsible for the
registered mapping entry, i.e. if it has a hash space who's
Partition ID matches Resource ID of the requested EID.
2. SHDHT Map Server then store and maintain the registered mapping
information in its hash space according to the matched Partition
ID.
4.5. Encapsulated Message Format
An Encapsulated Control Message (ECM) defined in[I-D.ietf-lisp] is
used to encapsulate control packets sent between xTRs and mapping
database system. At this time, only Map-Request messages are allowed
to be encapsulated in ECM format. When ITRs choose a SHDHT Node as
proxy to send control messages, they could use encapsulated message
format defined in [I-D.ietf-lisp], as shown in Fig.2.

4.5.1. Encapsulated Map Request
Suppose that the selected SHDHT Node of an ITR is Node1.
When the ITR sends Encapsulated Map-Requests to Node1, source address
and destination address in message OH (Outside Header) should be RLOC
addresses of ITR and Node1 respectively.
In the IH (Inside Header), source address is still RLOC address of
Node1, while destination address is the inquired EID address.
Consider Node1 is a configured Map Resolver, and then the
configuration of Encapsulated Map-Request message has not been
changed.

5. Mobility Considerations
As specified in section 4.2 and 4.3, ITR/ETR could choose a nearest
LISP SHDHT Node as proxy to send control messages.
Based on LISP SHDHT, when roaming events occurs, the roamed LISP
sites or LISP MNs are no longer need to anchor pre-configured map-
servers.
