InternetConnect: Joining IP and ATM with MPLS
Overview Most ISPs are familiar with scalability issues associated with IP routing. In IP networks, route topology is propagated to every member of a routing domain using a protocol like BGP-4 or OSPF. Each router builds an IP-forwarding table to determine the next hop for arriving packets. In large networks, table length grows, increasing lookup time, memory/CPU utilization, and route advertisements. Efficiencies can be gained through route filtering and aggregation. But, ultimately, per-hop decision-making has its limits.
