Abstract
As the Internet becomes the critical information infrastructure for both personal and business applications, fast and reliable routing protocols need to be designed to maintain the performance of those applications in the presence of failures. The interdomain routing protocol, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), is the glue that pieces together the various diverse networks or ASes that comprise the global Internet today. This chapter focuses on the interdomain routing protocol and its reliability by (i) providing an overview of BGP, (ii) offering a framework for understanding how undesirable routing states such as persistent routing oscillation, transient routing failures, or transient routing loops can arise, (iii) presenting a methodology for measuring the extent that these undesirable routing states can affect the quality of end-to-end packet delivery, and (iv) describing proposed solutions for reliable interdomain routing.
