Greedy Routing in the Internet: Is it a Solution?

Abstract

The current protocol for interdomain routing (BGP) faces several problems which may compromise its future. Being scalability and convergence the biggest cause of concern, forms of scalable routing are a relevant contribution for this discussion.
This papers presents greedy routing, a form of scalable routing with remarkable properties, e.g., the complexity in each node is O(#neighbours) as opposed to O(#nodes). The applicability of greedy routing is supported by studies concerning large-scale networks on which the traditional routing schemes do not scale. Being the Internet AS graph one of those networks [1], the application of a greedy routing scheme for interdomain routing could solve its scalability and convergence problems.
