On the Sensitivity of Transit ASes to Internal Failures
نویسنده
چکیده
Network robustness is something all providers are striving for without being able to know all the aspects it encompasses. A key aspect of network robustness concerns its sensitivity to internal failures. In this paper, we describe a methodology allowing an AS to study the sensitivity of its network to router and link failures. We provide an open-source tool implementing the sensitivity model of [1], allowing network operators to study the sensitivity of their network to internal failures. We apply our methodology on the GEANT network and show that some of the routers and links of GEANT are sensitive to internal failures in terms of the control plane. Our results indicate that improvements can be made to the network design so as to reduce the risk of disruptions due to internal failures.

A critical view of the sensitivity of transit ASs to internal failures
Recent work on hot-potato routing [1] has uncovered that large transit ASs can be sensitive to hot-potato disruptions. Designing a robust network is felt as overly important by transit providers as paths crossed by the traffic have both to be optimal and reliable. However, equipment failures and maintenance make this robustness non-trivial to achieve. To help understanding the robustness of lar...
متن کاملk-Fault tolerance of the Internet AS graph
Internet disruptions such as the Northeast Blackout (2003) and the Taiwan earthquake (2006) highlight the fragility of today’s Internet. Our goal in this paper is to investigate the robustness of inter-domain communication at the level of autonomous systems (ASes), taking into account both topological connectivity and compliance to routing policies. To this end, we introduce the concept of k-fa...
متن کاملA Methodology for Magnitude-based Inter-AS Distance Estimation
The relationships among autonomous systems (ASes) can be categorized into three types: 1) transit, 2) peering and 3) sibling. Since customer ASes purchase the Internet access from provider ASes over transit links and any two ASes can exchange their traffic without any payment over peering links, transit links cost more than peering links from the economical point of view. We propose an inter-AS...
متن کاملMeasuring the Evolution of Internet Peering Agreements
There is much interest in studying the structure and evolution of the Internet at the Autonomous System (AS) level. However, limitations of public data sources in detecting settlement-free peering links meant that prior work focused almost exclusively on transit links. In this work, we explore the possibility of studying the full connectivity of a small set of ASes, which we call usable monitor...
متن کاملCalculation of 99mTc-DTPA transit times in normal kidney [Persian]
Introduction: Renal dynamic study is a well-established and popular test in routine practice of nuclear medicine. The test is non-invasive, rapid and unique in evaluation of the kidney function. In despite of its clinical values, the parameters derived from renogram are physiologically meaningless. That is due to the fact that renogram is not the true kidney function. From mathematical po...
