Peering Games for Critical Internet Flows

We propose to model the routing of critical Internet flows across peering links with the theory of non-cooperative games. The goal is to pro-actively tackle major issues in current Internet routing: (i) lack of coordination between IGP and BGP routing (ii) (whose symptom are) frequent BGP route deviations (iii) (which can cause) sudden congestions at inter-AS links. Since peering settlements furthermore suffer from a low operation coordination (peering links less straightforwardly upgraded than transit links, BGP multi-exit discriminator, MED, signaling rarely used there), we believe that the peering settlements represent a practical implementation scope for the proposed framework.
