Internet outages are inevitable, frequent, opaque, and expensive. To make things worse,
they are poorly understood, while a deep understanding of them is essential for …

This article surveys several research challenges in interdomain routing. We introduce and
describe these challenges in a comprehensible manner, along with a review of the most …

Many studies show that, when Internet links go up or down, the dynamics of BGP may cause
several minutes of packet loss. The loss occurs even when multiple paths between the …

In this work, we introduce the Coordinated Cross Plane Session Termination, or CXPST,
attack, a distributed denial of service attack that attacks the control plane of the Internet …

This paper presents a new mechanism, called BGP with root cause notification (BGP-RCN),
that provides an upper bound of O (d) on routing convergence delay for BGP, where d is the …

A number of previous measurement studies [10, 12, 17] have shown the existence of path
exploration and slow convergence in the global Internet routing system, and a number of …

Industry observers expect VoIP to eventually replace most of the existing land-line telephone
connections. Currently however, quality and reliability concerns largely limit VoIP usage to …

This paper presents a new system, called BGPmon, for monitoring the Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP). BGP is the routing protocol for the global Internet. Monitoring BGP is …

Slow convergence in the Internet can be directly attributed to the" path exploration"
phenomenon, inherent in all path vector protocols. The root cause for path exploration is the …

Measurements have shown evidences of inter-domain packet forwarding loops in the
Internet, but the exact cause of these loops remains unclear. As one of the efforts in …
