Mechanisms for interdomain Traffic Engineering with LISP

PhD Thesis · 2011

Abstract

Internet is composed of the inter-connection of tens of thousands of independent networks called Autonomous Systems (ASes). ASes that only provide connectivity to the other ASes are called Internet Service Providers (ISPs). The vast majority of ASes in the Internet are multi-homed with several ISPs to reduce their costs and improve their capacity and robustness. Multi-homing increases the path diversity and thus might enable ASes to choose better quality paths. Unfortunately, the current Internet design does not allow to optimize routing for performance. Indeed, the routes are propagated gradually from AS to AS. If an AS has several routes for a given destination, it can only advertise and use its best one. In addition, the current Internet routing suffers from scalability issues. As a consequence, ASes lack of control on the traffic entering their network.
