Title :
Internet exterior routing protocol development: problems, issues, and misconceptions
Abstract :
Global routing in the Internet continues to have scalability problems which underscore weaknesses in the design and implementation of the various TCP/IP exterior routing protocols. This article explores the historical design and development relative to the decision-making process in the specification and implementation of Internet external routing protocols, in particular discussing problems associated with provider-based address space allocation
