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.
