Proof of an interdomain policy
Andreas Voellmy · 2009
Configuration of interdomain routing policies is notoriously difficult, despite their relatively simple structure. We believe that this difficulty arises in part due to the gap between a network's interdomain traffic goals and the interdomain routing policies which implement them. The gap arises because BGP policy accomplishes network goals indirectly, through interaction with the forwarding plane, and because these goals can often only be met when neighboring networks agree to implement certain policies.
