Mutually Controlled Routing With Independent ISPs

Overview This paper presents Wiser, an Internet routing protocol that enables ISPs to jointly control routing in a way that produces efficient end-to-end paths even when they act in their own interests. Wiser is a simple extension of BGP, uses only existing peering contracts for monetary exchange, and can be incrementally deployed. Each ISP selects paths in a way that presents a compromise between its own considerations and those of other ISPs. Done over many routes, this allows each ISP to improve its situation by its own optimization criteria compared to the use of BGP today. This paper evaluates Wiser using a router-level prototype and simulation on measured ISP topologies.

Cabinet Office website has some downtime

But when we moved back, our ISP had router problems. He explained that the website was successfully moved from Pipex to servers run by BT but that the router problems occurred with the migration back from BT to Pipex.

Rubbish home broadband? BT has the answer...

Fogg added that some ISPs already offer ways for customers to maximise broadband speeds - such as encouraging customers to plug their broadband modem into the master socket rather than into an extension socket, and providing a broadband router...
