Abstract

The internet is now-a-days experiencing a stress due to some inherent problems with the main interdomain routing protocol, boarder gateway protocol (BGP), the amount of time it takes to converge, number of update message exchanged followed by a failure to stabilize, the amount of time required to get a valid alternate path following the failure, the way size of routing table increasing, and security issues like integrity and privacy of routing tables and routing updates exchanged among the routers, are of our primary concern. In our proposed research work we plan to address aforementioned issues related to internet routing specially in boarder gateway protocol to enable BGP to offer expeditious unswerving routing to corroborate nascent internet. We plan to make some changes in the design of boarder gateway protocol and may introduce addition of extra features in BGP to help support above mentioned objective.
