Session 2, Cambridge Networks and Communication Meeting

Computation of best routes for Internet traffic involves the use of several different routing metrics, combined lexicographically into a single preference order. We will see what algebraic properties are required from the components to ensure that the computed routes are indeed optimal (for various definitions of optimality). It will also be shown that lexicographic choice is essential in the context of a network of networks such as the Internet. Several examples of possible interdomain routing metrics will be presented, and we will find out which work and which fail.
