ABSTRACT
It is extremely difficult to deploy newinter-domain routing protocols in today's Internet. As a result, the Internet's baseline protocol for connectivity, BGP, has remained largely unchanged, despite known significant flaws. The difficulty of deploying new protocols has also depressed opportunities for (currently commoditized) transit providers to provide value-added routing services. To help, we identify the key deployment models under which new protocols are introduced and the requirements each poses for enabling their usage goals. Based on these requirements, we argue for two modifications to BGP that will greatly improve support for new routing protocols.
