A SOLUTION TO INTER-DOMAIN POLICY DISPUTES

摘要：

The Internet is made up of thousands of autonomous systems (ASes). The task of exchanging routes among ASes, known as inter-domain routing, is currently handled by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). BGP allows ASes to select and propagate routes based on flexible and locally defined policies. However, this flexibility and autonomy of policies can lead to routing instability, even policy disputes among ASes result in inter-domain route oscillations. In this paper, we propose a distributed mechanism that ASes dynamically adjust the preference of the routes involved only when policy disputes resulting in oscillations exist. This solution preserves policy freedom and privacy as much as possible, operates with small overhead, and guarantees safe convergence.
