BGP ROUTE FLAP DAMPING ALGORITHMS
Shen Wei · Summit (Simon Fraser University) · 2006
Route flap damping (RFD) is a mechanism used in Border Gatelway Protocol (BGP) to prevent persistent routing oscillations in the Internet.It plays an iinportant role in maintaining the stability of the Internet routing system.RFD works by suppressing routes that flap persistently.Several existing algorithms address the issue of identifying and penalizing route flaps.In this thesis, we compare three such algoritllms: original RFD, selective RFD, and RFD+.We implement these algorithms in ns-2 and evaluate their performance.We also propose two possible improvements to the RFD idgorithms.for her guidance,
