A Common Model on how to Signal "Remoteness"

Room: Connections

Contact: Arnold Nipper

Remote peering has been around for ages and has been discussed several times on the Internet. Networks also gave recommendations how to deal with remote peering. And we have seen research on this topic as well. However although remote peering is done since long, there is no common model how to signal remoteness in BGP so that IXP participants are able to make this metric part of a routing decision. As remote peering becomes more popular as many IXP install reseller programs as well as we see services to provide either a global L2 service or interconnection between own IXP, the need to give participants information about the remoteness of other participants becomes more urgent.

The goal of the workshop is to talk about the issues, and then to develop a common model to signal remoteness.
