Abstract
Concerns about the growth of the global routing table has led to proposals for short-term FIB-reduction and long-term RIB-reduction solutions. The simplest type of FIB-reduction solution is "FIB aggregation", whereby individual routers locally reduce the FIB size without any changes to external operation. The draft [I-D.zhang-fibaggregation] describes and analyzes several FIB aggregation schemes. This current draft describes and analyzes another point in the design space, called SMALTA. Compared to the approaches in [I-D.zhang-fibaggregation], SMALTA provides better aggregation and does not introduce non-routable entries in the FIB, but is also more complex.
