| | 8 | |
| | 9 | In MobilityFirst, there is a clear separation of an end host identifier from its location. The identifier is the GUID(Globally Unique Identifier), while the location is the Network Address(NA). The GNRS is a large scale distributed system that provides mapping between a GUID and corresponding NAs. |

| | 12 | '''Inter-Domain Routing''' |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Inter-Domain Routing is concerned with determining paths between Autonomous Systems(AS). In the MobilityFirst's Edge-Aware Inter-Domain Routing(EIR), the network elements are aggregated into 'aNodes' connected by 'vLinks'. This aggregation into aNodes allows an AS to control extent of internal structure details advertised. |

| | 17 | '''Motivation''' |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | Consider a stub network moving from one AS to another. Individual updates through the routing protocol will be costly and time consuming. With GNRS assisted routing, a single update to the GNRS would suffice. |
| | 20 | |
| | 21 | This projects aims to explore the feasibility of moving the routing functions into the GNRS. A simple routing protocol will still be needed for the network elements to reach the GNRS servers. |
