-
- Title: Aggregation Support in the NSFNET Policy-Based
- Routing Database
- Author: Mark Knopper & Steven J. Richardson
- Mailbox: mak@merit.edu
- Pages: 11
- Characters: 25,330
- Updates/Obsoletes: none
-
- This document describes plans for support of route aggregation, as
- specified in the descriptions of Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
- and the BGP-4 protocol, by the NSFNET Backbone Network Service.
- Mechanisms for exchange of route aggregates between the backbone
- service and regional/midlevel networks are specified. Additionally,
- the memo proposes the implementation of an Aggregate Registry which
- can be used by network service providers to share information about
- the use of aggregation. Finally, the operational impact of
- incorporating CIDR and aggregation is considered, including an
- analysis of how routing table size will be affected. This impact
- analysis will be used to modify the deployment plan, if necessary, to
- maximize operational stability.
