Simple Wide-Area Multi-Path (SWAMP)
We are exploring routing architectures to improve
Internet availability using multiple concurrent
interdomain end-to-end paths. Our first design
focuses on a simple, effective, and
economically-friendly architecture to promote
real-world deployment. We find that providing path
choice at both a multi-homed source
and
destination can provide nearly as many AS disjoint
paths as a policy-free source routing mechanism could.
Please see our technical reports:
(1),
(2)
for measurement details and analysis.
Based on this result, SWAMP can provide end-hosts with
several disjoint paths in an architecture conducive
for deployment.
