Implementation of BGP in a network simulator
Tony Dongliang Feng · Summit (Simon Fraser University) · 2004
Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the inter-domain routing protocol currently employed in Internet. Internet growth imposes increased requirements on BGP performance. Recent studies revealed that performance degradations in BGP are due to the highly dynamic nature of the Internet. In this paper, we describe the design of the ns-BGP model and its implementation in the ns-2 network simulator. We describe a validation test for route reflection and provide a scalability performance analysis of the ns-BGP model.
