- Mutually Controlled Routing With Independent ISPs
- This paper presents Wiser, an Internet routing protocol that enables ISPs to jointly control routing in a way that produces efficient end-to-end paths even when they act in their own interests. Wiser is a simple extension of BGP, uses only existing peering contracts for monetary exchange, and can be incrementally...

- This paper presents a study of end-to-end web access failures in the Internet. Part of the characterization of failures is based on directly observable end-to-end information. The paper also presents novel analyses that reveal aspects of end-to-end failures that would be hard to discern otherwise. First, it combines end-to-end failure...

- Autonomic Network Management: Some Pragmatic Considerations
- Autonomic Network Management (ANM) has the goal of increasing reliability and performance while reducing management cost using various automated techniques. These range from agent-based approaches relying on explicit models and ontologies to emergent techniques relying on gossip protocols, swarming algorithms or other biologically inspired work. This paper reviews the failures,...

- Policy-Based bgp Control Architecture for Autonomous Routing Management
- Unexpected temporal and spatial changes of inter-AS routing behavior often lead to the necessity of on-demand inter-domain routing-adjustment. For resolving this problem, it applies the AISLE framework, which is a multi-agent-based model, to a policy-based routing-adjustment system for transit ISPs and their customer ASs. This paper describes the BGP-control architecture...
