Sardar M. Bilal, Muhammad Naveed Dilber, Atta ur Rehman Khan

TL;DR
This paper reviews various multipath interdomain routing techniques that enhance path utilization and reduce packet loss by allowing multiple paths between autonomous systems with minimal modifications to BGP.
Contribution
It provides a comprehensive overview of different multipath routing proposals and discusses their overhead, highlighting improvements over traditional single-path BGP routing.
Findings
Multipath routing reduces packet loss during link failures.
Different techniques vary in overhead and complexity.
Multipath approaches enable better traffic control across domains.
Abstract
Internet is composed of numbers of independent autonomous systems. BGP is used to disseminate reachability information and establishing path between autonomous systems. Each autonomous system is allowed to select a single route to a destination and then export the selected route to its neighbors. The selection of single best route imposes restrictions on the use of alternative paths during interdomain link failure and thus, incurred packet loss. Packet loss still occurs even when multiple paths exist between source and destination but these paths have not been utilized. To minimize the packet loss, when multiple paths exist, multipath routing techniques are introduced. Multipath routing techniques ensure the use of alternative paths on link failure. It computes set of paths which can be used when primary path is not available and it also provides a way to transit domains to have control…
