Incentive Driving Multipath Inter-Domain Routing

Abstract

To deploy multipath inter-domain routing, this paper tries to integrate our designed incentive mechanism into multipath inter-domain routing and propose an Incentive Driving Multi-path Inter-domain Routing scheme (IDMIR). Under the incentive mechanism, it can collect the path-let information from the selected nodes from the feasible BGP paths and build a scale-limited topology to compute the special routes. Meanwhile, it can adjust the protocol performance by configuring the path-let visibility degree (R) and topological nodes size (N). The simulation results demonstrate that IDMIR has strong path discovery capability with reasonable overhead.
