A New method to optimize BGP routes using SDN and reducing latency

2018 , Elguea, Lorenzo M. , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando

Latency on Internet mainly depends on the distance that packets travel in WAN networks1. This latency can be reduced if the hops between autonomous systems are reduced. This is the main function of the BGP protocol that is used by default in all the ISPs, but the lack of announcement of some network segments causes some routes to increase. This paper proposes a simple method to detect the routes that can be optimized and also a method using SDN to correct them. The first step is to determine which routes can be optimized, that is, those that are sent to a neighbor when they travel the greater distance, although this can not be determined by the router since it does not analyze all the routes that BGP receives in context. The second step is to add the new routes to the router, also by BGP, so that the router uses them. © 2018 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

An efficient method to compare latencies in order to obtain the best route for SDN

2017 , Elguea, Lorenzo M. , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando

Comparing two or more routes on Internet is difficult owing to the variability of the measurements resulting from the different routes or use conditions. With current tools such as SDN[1], it is important to determine with certainty which the best route between a user and an internet service. This will be achieved with fast measurements which do not affect the operation of the network. With trends such as IoT, the best routes can be identified based on latency and not just on the jumps between autonomous systems, fact that optimizes data traffic in a specific way whether it is IPv4 or IPv6. As time elapses, it becomes more important to have a perfect setting for the LAN, which means optimal DNS, LDAP Servers appropriate number, etc. Thats why we propose a precise method that contemplates every possible variation of data, thus making a comparison by means of the use of confidence limits.

New metrics to modify BGP routes based on SDN

2019 , Elguea, Lorenzo M. , Martínez Ríos, Félix Orlando

Through Software Defined Network, routes obtained through Border Gateway Protocol can be modified to improve latency or select a shorter path. With the same tool that perform the above actions, you can modify routes, for example, to avoid autonomous systems in certain countries or some other policy that may help, for example, security. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
