Global Routing System Scaling
Issues: Original Preposition
“With the rapid growth of the Internet routing table,
providers with lower-capacity routers are experiencing
difficulty maintaining network stability, even with
aggressive filtering policies in place. The panel will discuss
the causes of routing prefix table growth, measures providers
should take to curtail it, and alternate measures small
enterprises and service providers can take to insure
redundancy and load-balancing without announcing their
prefixes into the global table.” – Timothy Brown Prestige
