Traffic engineering with BGP
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper will give an overview of how to connect reliably to the Internet using connections to multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Since there are numerous possible ways for packets to enter and leave our own network in such a setup, a network operator might want to control this behavior as best as possible for several reasons. We will discuss how to achieve this goal.

Tweak-it: BGP-based Interdomain Traffic Engineering for transit ASes
Today, engineering interdomain traffic in large transit ASes is a difficult task due the opacity of BGP and the complex interactions between the BGP decision process and IGP routing. In this paper we propose Tweak-it, a tool that, based on the steady-state view of BGP routing inside the AS and the traffic demands of the AS, computes the BGP updates to be sent to the ingress routers of a transit...
متن کاملAn Evaluation of BGP-based Traffic Engineering Techniques
We analyze several types of interdomain traffic engineering techniques. First, we briefly describe interdomain routing and the BGP protocol. Then, we summarize the characteristics of interdomain traffic based on measurements with two different ISPs. We evaluate how a typical ISP can select its upstream providers and show that with the BGP decision process many routes are selected non-determinis...
متن کاملTechniques for Interdomain Traffic Engineering
Network operators must have control over the flow of traffic into, out of, and across their networks. However, the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) does not facilitate common traffic engineering tasks, such as balancing load across multiple links to a neighboring AS or directing traffic to a different neighbor. Solving these problems is difficult because the number of possible changes to routing p...
متن کاملInterdomain Traffic Engineering with minimal BGP configurations
We propose a method based on multi-objective combinatorial optimization to perform interdomain traffic engineering with minimal BGP configurations. Our method relies on an evolutionary algorithm that tries to minimize an objective function defined on the distribution of the traffic over the interdomain links of an ISP under the constraint of minimal number of BGP filters to be applied on the BG...
متن کاملOn the use of BGP communities for fine-grained inbound traffic engineering
In the context of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), inbound inter-domain traffic engineering (TE) remains a difficult problem without panacea. Each of previously investigated method solves a part of the problem. In this study, we try to complement the map by exploring the use of BGP communities. With BGP community based polices enabled in transit provider networks, we are able to manipulate incomi...
متن کاملControlling the Impact of BGP Policy Changes on IP Traffic 3 2 Border Gateway Protocol
The Internet consists of nearly 12,000 autonomous systems (AS’s) that exchange routing information using the Border GatewayProtocol (BGP). The operators of each network need to have control over the flow of traffic through the AS. However, BGP doesnot facilitate common traffic engineering tasks, such as balancing load across multiple links to a neighboring AS or directingtraffic to ...
