Path-vector routing stability analysis
Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, Florin Coraş, Albert Cabellos‐Aparicio · ACM SIGMETRICS Performance Evaluation Review · 2011
In this paper, we define a set of metrics that characterize the local stability properties of path-vector routing protocols such as BGP (Border Gateway Protocol). By means of these stability metrics, we propose a method to analyze the effects of BGP policy- and protocol-induced instability on local routers.
