When the Cure is Worse than the Disease: the Impact of Graceful IGP Operations on BGP

· 2012

Abstract

Network upgrade, performance optimization and traffic engineering activities often force network operators to adapt their IGP configuration. Recently, several techniques have been proposed to change an IGP configuration (e.g., link weights) in a disruption-free manner. Unfortunately, none of these tech- niques considers the impact of IGP changes on BGP correctness.
