Abstract
The complex nature of the Border Gateway Protocol
(BGP) is not amenable to analytical modeling, and thus
simulation–based analysis methods are needed to understand
its behavior. To this end, we investigate techniques
that make large-scale BGP simulations feasible. The described
techniques partially ameliorate the memory and execution
time bottlenecks to yield large-scale BGP simulations.
Our focus is cast on efficient sharing of BGP routing
tables, execution time optimizations for simulation trials,
and proper partitioning of parallel distributed BGP simulations.
Moreover, we survey the requirements for realistic,
Internet-like BGP simulations and develop a simulation
toolset to expedite realistic configuration of a BGP simulator.
