Introduction Problem: Disconnectivity during BGP’s convergence
Introduction • AS-level Multi-Path Routing idea: • supply multiple paths • find the most disjoint paths from the one currently used (to cover a wide area of failures). AS-level Multi-Path Routing: nice to have, but it may come at some costs.
Motivation • Number of ASes – almost doubled from 2004 • BGP faces scalability and stability problems
Motivation • Number of ASes – almost doubled from 2004 • BGP faces scalability and stability problems • Reticence to new BGP enhancements
Motivation • Number of ASes – almost doubled from 2004 • BGP faces scalability and stability problems • Reticence to new BGP enhancements Every new BGP addition should be carefully studied and tested
Our work • Study the promises of the recently proposed AS-level multi-path routing methods (2009) • Resilient_BGP • each AS advertise a fail-over path to the AS through which it is routing • Multi-Process_BGP • run multiple BGP instances that advertise disjoint paths
Experiments • Show: • impact on BGP’s scalability • the degree of fault tolerance • BGPsim simulator • can simulate more than 30.000 ASes • ran on DAS-4 cluster; using 33 nodes; 8 cores/node • CAIDA topologies from 2005 to 2010
Preliminary results 2005 maximum node disjointness
Preliminary results 2009 maximum node disjointness
Conclusion • Importance: • BGP protocol designers and network operators: • impact on scalability • efficiency • Future work • further analyze the routing tables • more methods
