Backpressure on the Backbone: A Lightweight, Non-intrusive Traffic Engineering Approach [[[Liaskos.2013j3]]]

Abstract:  The present study proposes a novel collaborative traffic engineering scheme for networks of autonomous systems. Backpressure routing (BPR) principles are used for deriving priority routing rules that optimally stabilize a network, while maximizing its throughput under latency considerations. The routing rules are deployed to the network following simple SDN principles. The proposed scheme requires minimal, infrequent interaction with a central controller, limiting its imposed workload. Furthermore, it respects the internal structure of the autonomous systems and their existing peering relations. In addition, it co-exists smoothly with underlying distance vector-based routing schemes. The proposed scheme combines simplicity with substantial gains in served transit traffic volume, as shown by simulations in realistic setups and proven via mathematical analysis. 

In a Nutshell 

Assume a cluster of Autonomous Systems and an existing routing system (e.g., BGP). We propose a system of priority routing rules running on top of the existing routing system. These priority rules are derived via Backpressure principles, with trivial information of non-intrusive nature. The Autonomous Systems enjoy maximal thorughput and stability within their collaboration cluster, without relinguishing control or critical information to the external control plane.

A concise PPT, which includes illustrations and the necessary BPR background can be found here. Slide comments included.

This PPT accompanies the conference version of this work [[[Liaskos2015lightweight]]].

Key-points

  • A minimal-commitment/high-gain collaboration scheme may be required to convince Autonomous Systems to try-out central orchestration.
  • Applying Back-pressure (BPR) routing within a group of ASes can constitute the basis for such a collaboration scheme.
  • BPR promises throughput optimality, resulting in increased transit traffic, fair distribution of additional traffic, increased network stability and  resilience to congestion events.
  • BPR is simple in its operation and requires no changes in hardware, BGP operation or peering policy violation.
