  1. Hot-Potato vs. Cold-Potato

  2. Hot-Potato • In hot-potato routing, an ISP hands off traffic to a downstream ISP as quickly as it can Hot-potato routing = route to closest exit point when there is more than one route to destination

  3. Cold-Potato • Cold-potato routing: an ISP carries traffic as far as possible on its own network before handing it off to a downstream ISP • Two different policies • Hot-potato case: The goal is to get rid of traffic as soon as possible so as to minimize the amount of work that the ISP's network needs to do • Cold-potato case: The goal is carry traffic on the ISP's network to the extent possible so as to maximize the control that the ISP has on the end-to-end quality of service • In general, an ISP's routing policy would lie somewhere in between the extremes of hot-potato and cold-potato routing
