摘要: The Internet's inter-domain routing infrastructure, provided today by BGP, is extremely rigid and does not facilitate the introduction of new protocols. This rigidity has made it incredibly difficult to widely deploy critical fixes BGP. It also depressed ASes' ability sell value-added services or replace BGP entirely with a more sophisticated protocol. Even if operators undertook significant effort needed fix likely next protocol will be just as change evolve. To help, this paper identifies two features in infrastructure (i.e., within any protocol) evolution understand their utility, presents D-BGP, version that incorporates them.
