Routing and Addressing in Networks with Global Enterprise Recursion (RANGER)

RANGER is an architectural framework for scalable routing and addressing in next generation enterprise networks. The term "enterprise network" within this context extends to a wide variety of use cases and deployment scenarios, where an "enterprise" can be as small as a SOHO network, as dynamic as a Mobile Ad-hoc Network, as complex as a multi-organizational corporation, or as large as the global Internet itself. Such networks will require an architected solution for the coordination of routing and addressing plans with accommodations for scalability, provider-independence, mobility, multi-homing and security. These considerations are particularly true for existing deployments, but the same principles apply even for clean-slate approaches. The RANGER architecture addresses these requirements, and provides a comprehensive framework for IPv6/IPv4 coexistence.
