User-Customizing Oriented Multipath Inter-Domain Routing

Abstract

Multipath inter-domain routing can improve the reliability, robustness and path diversity of the Internet. This paper proposes one User-customizing oriented Multi-path Inter-domain Routing protocol called as UMIR. Its basic idea is as follows: based on user routing requirements, it selects some nodes from the feasible BGP paths and requests their path-lets information, and then it builds a local topology to calculate user routes. The experimental analysis shows that this UMIR protocol can achieve rich candidate and high-quality paths.
