Abstract

With the development of the Internet, people put more demands on networks. Among different networks, enterprise network faces more challenges, because of its large scale and diverse goals. Configuration of enterprise network is always daunting for network operators. In this paper, we propose a new routing protocol called TwoD-IP routing to facilitate enterprise network management. With TwoD-IP routing, we can achieve flexible management by providing different views on the same network for different users. We design the routing protocol algorithm, and implement it on a quagga-based router. Finally, we evaluate our mechanism using simulations with BRITE generated topologies. The results show that our mechanism can greatly reduce the network configuration complexities.
