Papers and Notes

• BGP Tutorial: A Cisco presentation on routing basics and BGP. ** NEW **
• ISIS Tutorial: A Cisco presentation on ISIS basics and its comparison to OSPF. ** NEW **
• Cache overflow probability: This note details the computation of the cache overflow probability in the context of packet forwarding.
• Interop'94 paper on EIGRP: Describes the basic operation of EIGRP with a protocol rather than algorithmic perspective.
• Loop-Free Routing Using Diffusing Computations: A rigorous description of the basic algorithm underpinning the EIGRP protocol and its loo-free guarantees.
• Multi-path Computations: Example illustrating the computation of multiple equal cost paths when using Dijkstra's algorithm. The issue of consistent selection among those multiple equal cost paths is also discussed.
• NAT Traversal with SIP: Illustrates the problems that some protocols, SIP in this instance, can encounter because of NATs.
• Router Architecture Overview: A review of router architectures, including those behind most modern routers.
• Caching in packet forwarding (early usage): An early (1988) paper investigating the benefits (or not) of caching for packet forwarding purposes.
• Caching in packet forwarding (recent usage): A recent(2009) paper investigating the benefits (or not) of caching for packet forwarding purposes.
• Peering Agreements (Part I): A paper on peering agreements by Geoff Huston (Telstra) - Part I.
• Peering Agreements (Part II): A paper on peering agreements by Geoff Huston (Telstra) - Part II.
