Abstract :
Indirect routing involves sending messages between Internet end nodes through a specified intermediate node to effect a different end-to-end route than the default "direct" route. Indirect routing offers the potential for significant improvements in throughput performance by exploiting the Internet\´s richness in throughput diversity. We present a performance analysis of indirect routing, showing that it can result in a 33-49% increase in average throughput performance while incurring low overhead.
