Hot potato and least MED BGP rules – BGPv4 • Hot potato routing • If same AS hop count, • If least MED does not apply, • Choose the closer egress point. • Least MED routing • If same AS hop count • If many ingress points to a same upstream AS, • Choose the least MED-icated route.
Rationales • Technical (BGP) • BGP routing is selfish and inefficient on peering links • Hot-potato and tie-breaking rules exclude collaborations • High bottleneck risk on peering links • Classical load sharing on peering links? Would be inefficient too • The Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) has a collaboration nature, but is often disabled on peering links • none is customer each other’s MED-icated preferences shall be equivalent • MED usage on peering links shall be coordinated • Game theoretic • The BGP bilateral routing solution is far from the social optimum • The MED allows exchanging routing cost information • The peering link capacity is a scarce resource • Carriers shall coordinate to avoid unstable routes and peering link congestions • while preserving their independence
A simple 2-link peering game example • AS I and AS II exchange their internal routing cost via the MED • for NET A and NET B (resp.) • Game strategy set = possible egress links • Table I: BGP+MED seen with a game theoretic standpoint dummy game (unilateral choices l1,l2 are equivalent): 4 Nash equilibria • Table II: considering both peers’ IGP path costs (=MEDs) • NET A and NET B shall be equivalent (e.g. w.r.t. the bandwidth) ClubMED (Coordinated MED) game: 1 Nash equilibrium
Simple 3-link ClubMED game examples The Nash equilibrium is unique and Pareto-efficient 13 13 13 14 15 10 4 The Pareto-superior Nash equilibrium is not Pareto-efficient any longer! • REMINDER: • A strategy profile s is Pareto-superior to another strategy profile s’ if a player’s cost can be decreased from s to s’ without increasing the other player’s cost. And s’ is Pareto-inferior to s. • A strategy profile is Pareto-efficient if it is not Pareto-inferior to any other strategy profile.
The ClubMED game • Generalization • Mono-directional costs • Many peering links • Multiple pairs of destination communities • Congestion costs on peering links • The resulting ClubMED game can be described as G = Gs + Gd + Gc • Gs, a selfish game (endogenous) • Gd , a dummy game, of pure externality • Gc, a congestion game (endogenous) • For m pairs and n links: permutation of m single-pair n-link ClubMED games |Xm|=|Ym|=nm
The ClubMED game: properties • It is a potential game • The incentive to change expressed in one global potential function; • The difference in individual costs by an individual strategy move has the same value as the potential difference • Nash equilibrium Potential minimum • And a Nash equilibrium always exists • Frequent occurrence of multiple equilibria • A ClubMED Nash equilibrium is not necessarily a Pareto-efficient profile • The Pareto-frontier may not contain Nash equilibria • Gd guides the Pareto-efficiency, Gs + Gcguides the Nash equilibrium
Dealing with IGP Weight Optimizations (IGP-WO) • In practice, ASs may implement IGP-WO operations within their domain • the IGP path cost can change after the route change • ClubMED Gs adaptation. Each peer: • Computes δ cost variations for each path w.r.t. each possible ClubMED decisions • Computes optimistic directional cost errors (ingress and egress) • Codes in the MED its two errors. • For example, egress error cost for AS I: • Broadening of the Nash set and of the Pareto-frontier • A potential threshold is arisen above the minimum • Many candidate Nash equilibria • Coordination strategies are still more necessary Tp
ClubMED-based peering link congestion controls • With multiple pairs, inter-peer links congestion can be controlled with Gc • The more egress flows routed on a peering link, the more congested the link, and the higher the routing cost. • Objective: weighting the inter-carrier links when congestion may arise • A congestion cost functionH: set of inter-peer flow pairsρih the outgoing bit-rate of the flow pair h on link i Ci the egress capacity of li • Gc practically not considered when
Nash Equilibrium MultiPath (NEMP) routing • Collect the MEDs and flows’ bandwidth information • Compute the potential minimum • Compute the delta IGP path cost variations and the potential treshold • Compute the Nash set • Restrain the Nash set to the Pareto-superior equilibria • When more than one, we have a multipath solution • The corresponding routes are the coordinated routing solution

Peering Equilibrium MultiPath (PEMP) routing policies (cont.) • Nash Equilibrium MultiPath (NEMP) coordination(one-shot) • Play the Pareto-superior equilibria of the Nash set • Fine-selected multipath routing on peering link • Repeated coordination:(repeated, high trust) • Play the profiles of the Pareto-frontier • Needs a very high level of trust between peers for the long-run • Repeated Jump coordination:(repeated, low trust) • Unself-jump: After shrinking the Nash set w.r.t. the Pareto-efficiency, the ASs agree to make both a further step toward a choice (xj,yj) s.t.(1):ψ (xj,yj) - ψ (x0,y0) + φ (xj,yj) – φ (x0,y0)< 0 (1) • The unselfish loss that one may have is compensated by the improvement upon the other • Pareto-Jump: toward Pareto-superior profiles without unselfish unilateral loss, i.e. such that (1) and (2): ψ (xj,yj) - ψ (x0,y0) ≤ 0 AND φ (xj,yj) – φ (x0,y0) ≤ 0 (2)
