Why the recent growth?

• Inter-Domain routing carries simultaneously:

  • Connectivity information
  • Originating policy information
  • Resiliency demands
  • Traffic engineering preferences

• The growth in the BGP table space is due to a larger number of distinguished originating policies being disseminated more widely across the inter-domain space from more locations

  • More players, fewer natural points of aggregation
