Negotiation-Based Routing Between Neighboring ISPs
Overview This paper explores negotiation as the basis for cooperation between competing entities, for the specific case of routing between two neighboring ISPs. Inter-domain routing is often driven by self-interest and based on a limited view of the internetwork, which hurts the stability and efficiency of routing. The paper presents a negotiation framework in which adjacent ISPs share information using coarse preferences and jointly decide the paths for the traffic flows they exchange. The framework enables pairs of ISPs to agree on routing paths based on their specific relationship, even if they have different optimization criteria.
