On the Interaction Between Dynamic Routing in the Native and Overlay Layers

Tags:
switching

Overview Overlay networks have recently gained attention as a viable alternative to overcome functionality limitations of the Internet. This paper is concerned with scenarios where a dynamic routing protocol is employed in the overlay network to adapt overlay routing tables to changing network conditions. At the same time, the native network over which the overlay is built also runs its own set of dynamic routing protocols. The paper is interested in investigating the behavior of this mixed routing environment and in particular the characteristics of the interaction between these two routing layers. This paper focus on the specific problem of rerouting around failed links.
