Agents support for flexible Inter-AS policy control

Abstract

Inter-AS routing is difficult to control since advertised inter-AS routing information changes as it spreads through ASs that are managed based on each policy. For operating the Internet reliably as we intend, we propose a flexible and autonomous policy control environment called AISLE. AISLE uses cooperative actions among distributed agents to know and control inter-AS routing behavior. This paper describes the AISLE model and architecture that enable policy control at the inter-AS level.
