Combined intra- and inter-domain traffic engineering using hot-potato aware link weights optimization
Simon Balon, Guy Leduc · 2008
A well-known approach to intradomain traffic engineering consists in finding the set of link weights that minimizes a network-wide objective function for a given intradomain traffic matrix. This approach is inadequate because it ignores a potential impact on interdomain routing due to hot-potato routing policies. This may result in changes in the intradomain traffic matrix that have not been anticipated by the link weights optimizer, possibly leading to degraded network performance.
