Platypus: Authenticated Source Routing

Overview

We are building a system, Platypus, to enable increased routing flexibility for end hosts and edge networks while providing the control that ISPs want over such source-based path selection. Platypus provides cryptographically authenticated tokens called network capabilities that are placed in packets to express source routing requests. These capabilities are checked by forwarding routers, thereby ensuring that forwarded packets comply with local ISP policy.
