OSPF Monitoring: Architecture, Design and Deployment Experience
White Paper Improving IP control plane (routing) robustness is critical to the creation of reliable and stable IP services. Yet very few tools exist for effective IP route monitoring and management. This paper describes the... [29 May 2009]
Design and Implementation of a Routing Control Platform
White Paper RCP is a logically-centralized platform, separate from the IP forwarding plane, that performs route selection on behalf of routers and communicates selected routes to the routers using the unmodied iBGP protocol. [29 May 2009]
Impact of Hot-Potato Routing Changes in IP Networks
White Paper This paper shows that hot-potato routing changes lead to longer delays in forwarding-plane convergence, shifts in the flow of traffic to neighboring domains, extra externally-visible BGP update messages, and inaccuracies... [29 May 2009]
