| Title: | Outsourcing Routing using SDN: The Case for a Multi-Domain Routing Operating System |
| Year: | 2013 |
| Month: | April |
| Abstract: | Managing and controlling Internet routing within an ISP environment and in the inter-AS arena are complex, error-prone tasks that require significant expertise and specialized knowledge. Taking this observation into account, we describe a new, backwards-compatible routing model which is based on outsourcing and logically centralizing the routing control plane. We claim that outsourcing reduces the routing management overhead and enables enhanced inter-domain routing. As multiple ASes outsource their routing control plane to the same outsourcing service contractor, AS clusters are being gradually formed. A logically centralized multi-AS routing control operating system based on Software Defined Networking (SDN) principles is the natural point for taking efficient routing decisions, detecting policy conflicts, troubleshooting routing problems, and evolving Internet routing. We present the technical and financial incentives which support the feasibility of the model and the design and implementation challenges faced in our on-going work. |
