A Distributed Local-Optimum Distance Vector Algorithm for the Metarouting Approach
Seweryn Dynerowicz, Jean-Noël Colin, Laurent Schumacher · 2011
We present a formal distributed algorithm that can be used for the deployment of arbitrary routing policies in a network infrastructure that attempts to complete the ideas proposed by Griffin et al. We prove that our algorithm is based on a function that satisfies conditions proposed by Bertsekas. These conditions guarantee that the distributed version of the algorithm will converge and yield the same result as a centralized computation of the routing matrix. We also present a prototype in Haskell that illustrates the possibilities of defining policies and general computations on them.
