Internet measurements have shown that network failures happen frequently, and that existing routing protocols can take multiple seconds, or even minutes, to converge after a failu...

— This paper presents a new mechanism for improving the convergence properties of path vector routing algorithms, such as BGP. Using a route’s path information, we develop two ...

Today’s intra-domain protocols are limited in their scalability. We examine these limitations and propose an alternative in the form of an IGP based on path vectors. Taking adva...
— 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...
