- Overcoming ISP Network Challenges
- Organizations continue to battle problems related to delivering high-performing, continuous uptime and high-availability for applications such as VoIP, Outlook Web Access, VPN, Web Portals, and others, putting increased stress upon ISP links. An affordable approach to address these issues is the use of multi-homed connections to aggregate multiple low-cost ISP...

- Design and Implementation of a Routing Control Platform
- The routers in an Autonomous System AS must distribute the information they learn about how to reach external destinations. Unfortunately, today's internal Border Gateway Protocol iBGP architectures have serious problems: a "Full mesh" iBGP configuration does not scale to large networks and "Route reflection" can introduce problems such as protocol...

- A Framework for Measuring and Predicting the Impact of Routing Changes
- Routing dynamics heavily influence Internet data plane performance. Existing studies only narrowly focused on a few destinations and did not consider the predictability of the impact of routing changes on performance metrics such as reachability. This paper proposes an efficient framework to capture coarse-grained but important performance degradation as a...

- Network Considerations for a Network Which Does Not Support 4-Octet AS
- This paper will assume that an 'OLD' BGP speaker is supporting only a 2-octet AS number, and that that a BGP speaker that supports the new 4-octet AS number is a 'NEW' BGP speaker. RFC4893 (BGP Support for Four-octet AS Number Space) describes the compatibility between OLD and NEW BGP...

- BGP Routing Scalability: Reflectors Vs. Route Servers
- Autonomous systems need to be connected using BGP servers. To reduce the complexity of connecting these systems together, researchers have suggested that route servers or routing databases be used. While both route reflectors and routing databases offer significant scalability advantages over standard full mesh BGP, they also introduce problems in...

- Origin of Route Explosion in Virtual Private Networks
- Enterprises often have sites that are spread in distant locations. These sites need to interconnect with the same level of privacy as in a local-area network. Virtual Private Networks VPNs were introduced to serve this need. A common VPN technology uses MultiProtocol extensions for the Border Gateway Protocol (MP-BGP) and...
