Due to concerns about resilience and performance, more and more
stub networks in the Internet rely on multi-homing. Multi-homing
consists in connecting a network to the Internet at different
access points. As traffic leaves and enters the network through
several access links, multi-homed networks need to control their
traffic, also called traffic engineering. Multi-homed networks
typically perform traffic engineering by tweaking the BGP routing
protocol. The purpose of BGP is to distribute the information about
reachable networks across the whole Internet, not to perform
traffic engineering. It is thus important for multi-homed networks
to know the complexity of traffic engineering with BGP. In this
book, we explain how BGP can be used to engineer the traffic and
what can be expected from doing it. The content of this book
targets two types of readers. First, the network managers of small
to medium-size stub networks will better understand BGP and how to
use it to engineer their traffic. Second, researchers in networking
will learn about three different research areas: Internet traffic
characteristics, interdomain routing, and evolutionary
optimization.
