BGP Churn Evolution: A Perspective from the Core

Abstract

            The scalability limitations of BGP have been a major concern lately. An important aspect of this issue is the rate of routing updates (churn) that BGP routers must process. This paper presents an analysis of the evolution of churn in four networks at the backbone of the Internet over a period of seven years and eight months, using BGP update traces from the RouteViews project. The churn rate varies widely over time and between networks. Instead of descriptive “black-box” statistical analysis, we take an exploratory data analysis approach attempting to understand the reasons behind major observed characteristics of the churn time series. We find that duplicate announcements are a major churn contributor, responsible for most large spikes. Remaining spikes are mostly caused by routing incidents that affect a large number of prefixes simultaneously. More long-term intense periods of churn, on the other hand, are caused by misconfigurations or other special events at or close to the monitored autonomous system (AS). After filtering pathologies and effects that are not related to the long-term evolution of churn, we analyze the remaining “baseline” churn and find that it is increasing at a rate that is similar to the growth of the number of ASs.

Existing System:

            An earlier study by Huston and Armitage reported an alarming growth in churn [10]. During 2005, the daily rate of BGP updates observed by a router in AS1221 (Telstra) almost doubled, while the number of prefixes grew by only 18%. Based on these measurements, the authors projected future churn levels and concluded that current router hardware will need significant upgrades in order to cope with churn in a 3–5 years horizon.

Proposed System:

            Specifically, in this paper we present a longitudinal study of BGP churn spanning a longer time frame (more than seven years) and more monitors (routers at four tier-1 ISPs) than previous studies. Generally, the churn time series is very noisy, dominated by frequent large spikes and “level shifts” that last for several weeks or even months. There are periods in which churn is slowly increasing, others in which it is decreasing, and major differences between monitors.
