Routing Hierarchies Flat routing doesn'tscale Storage> Each node cannot be expected to store routes to every destination (or destination network) Convergence times increase Communication Total message count increases w Key observation Need less information with increasing distance to destination k Need lower diameters networks Solution area hierarchy 2021/1/31 4
Routing Hierarchies Flat routing doesn’t scale Storage → Each node cannot be expected to store routes to every destination (or destination network) Convergence times increase Communication → Total message count increases Key observation Need less information with increasing distance to destination Need lower diameters networks Solution: area hierarchy 2021/1/31 4
Areas Divide network into areas k areas can have nested sub-areas Hierarchically address nodes in a network Sequentially number top-level areas k Sub-areas of area are labeled relative to that area k nodes are numbered relative to the smallest containing area 2021/1/31

Internet's Area Hierarchy What is an autonomous System (As)? *a set of routers under a single technical administration Using an interior gateway protocol( GP)and common metrics to route packets within the as Using an exterior gateway protocol(EGP)to route packets to other AS's Sometimes AS's use multiple iGPs and metrics but appear as single as's to other Ass k Each as assigned unique ID AS's peer exchanges information 2021/1/31
