Abstract
This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation
of BGP-Mux, a system for providing multiple clients
access to a common set of BGP update streams from multiple
BGP peers. By providing multiple clients access to
the same set of BGP feeds, BGP-Mux facilitates many applications,
including: (1) scalable, real-time monitoring of
BGP update feeds; (3) new routing architectures that require
access to all BGP routing updates from neighboring ASes
(as opposed to just the best BGP route for each destination);
and (2) virtual networks running on shared infrastructure that
share common underlying network connectivity. We have
implemented BGP-Mux through by configuring existing features
in the Quagga software router; we have deployed BGP-Mux
on VINI and evaluated its scalability and performance
in a controlled environment on the Emulab testbed.
