Implications of Traffic Characteristics on Interdomain Traffic Engineering

Analysis of Interdomain Traffic

This report presents the results from measurements of interdomain traffic traces. It discusses the implications of interdomain traffic characterization on the feasibility of interdomain traffic engineering. In the first part, we study the relationship between interdomain traffic and the routing view of the Internet. Our contributions are the following. The distribution of the traffic received b...

An Evaluation of BGP-based Traffic Engineering Techniques

We analyze several types of interdomain traffic engineering techniques. First, we briefly describe interdomain routing and the BGP protocol. Then, we summarize the characteristics of interdomain traffic based on measurements with two different ISPs. We evaluate how a typical ISP can select its upstream providers and show that with the BGP decision process many routes are selected non-determinis...

Interdomain traffic engineering with BGP

Traffic engineering is performed by means of a set of techniques that can be used to better control the flow of packets inside an IP network. We discuss the utilization of these techniques across interdomain boundaries in the global Internet. We first analyze the characteristics of interdomain traffic on the basis of measurements from three different Internet service providers and show that a s...

Simulating Interdomain Traffic at the Flow-Level

This paper presents a model for interdomain traffic simulation at the flow level. The model explicitly takes into account three network-related variables for the traffic generation process: the arrival process of the layer-4 flows, the traffic volume carried over these flows and the rate at which these flows can send traffic. The variables of the model are first analyzed on a real flow-level in...
