On the robustness of soft state protocols
Proceedings of the 12th IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols, 2004. ICNP 2004.
Soft state has been a mantra of Internet protocol design for the past decade. System designers build protocols that implement soft state mechanisms based on intuition or on qualitative arguments that the design is "better", yet there has never been a formal performance evaluation study that draws the same conclusion. In fact, previous attempts [7, 12] to build such a quantitative argument have found that pure soft state protocols significantly underperform their hard state counterparts, and
