Inter-domain Routing in the Internet: Thinking about replacements for BGP
Mark Handley
University of College, London
BGP, the current inter-domain routing protocol, is known to suffer
from a number of pressing problems that render the Internet
infrastructure vulnerable to attack, and threaten to impede future
Internet growth. In this talk I'll discuss the problem of
inter-domain policy routing, and why BGP ended up the way it did in
its efforts to preserve secrecy of policy. In reality though, it
turns out that BGP fails to hide many policies. I will examine how
this not-so-secret policy information can be used explicitly by a
possible replacement for BGP, and how this leads us to a specific
hybrid design for a new inter-domain routing protocol.
