A Border Pricing Protocol (BPP)


Old News

Version 0.6 of the code.

on Tuesday Mai 8, 2001, @6:00PM

This is the version the simulation results were produced from.
New Open optional param: Max Nb of Update
Random command sending. Simulation data output
Simulation done: simulation data, scripts
Added the results/ dir for the simulation results
Various bug fixes Here.

First simulation results.

on Monday Mai 7, 2001, @8:00PM

First simulation results are available on the new Simulation page.

New "Max Number of Update" optional OPEN parameter.

on Monday Mai 7, 2001, @8:00PM

Added the "Max Number of Update" optional OPEN message parameter (see protocol section 4.2.2 b).
This optional parameter may be used to indicate the maximum number of Update message a peer should send for each PI.

The HPSR paper is online

The paper we sent to the HPSR workshop is now online:
[ORWe01] Oberle, V., Ritter, H., Wehrle, K.:
"BPP: A Protocol for Exchanging Pricing Information between Autonomous Systems"
Proceedings of HPSR 2001 (IEEE Workshop on High-Performance Switching and Routing), Dallas, USA, 29.-31. Mai 2001

Simulation ready release

on Friday April 5 2001, @20:00PM

New bigger network: simuone
Exchange of Update/Request messages (nextgen network)
Update to the protocol: new Request message format
All 3 networks working
Updated to OMNeT++ 2.0
Code cleaning - "read-only" rule
Changed directory node to proc. Created directory nodes Here.

Final submission of the HPSR paper

on Thursday March 29 2001, @6:00PM

After some updates, the paper was submitted to the HPSR, which will take place in Dallas, May 29-31, 2001.

Protocol: New Request message format

on Tuesday March 20 2001, @20:00PM

The list of AS to cross was added to the BPP Request message format.
See the update specifications Here.

Our paper at HPSR was accepted

on Saturday March 17 2001, @04:00AM

The paper that we submitted to 2001 IEEE Workshop on High Performance Switching and Routing (HPSR 2001) was accepted, getting by the way some interesting reviews.

Through routers, and request/update exchange too!

on Friday March 16 2001, @20:00PM

Added two new networks:
router_net: creates BPP connection through a router, exchange of keepalive
nextgen: simple request/update exchange (not working currenlty)
Connection to routing, AS base, etc
Moved IPAddress in the IP-Suite Here.

First BPP established connection

on Tuesday February 6 2001, @10:00PM

Added a simple twonode network that manages to establish a BPP connection.
Many bug correction, cleaning, etc.
Added license (GPL) Here.

It compiles/links!

on Friday January 26 2001, @6:00PM

Added PIB, routing stuff. Updates to the FSM. Here.

First release of the simulation

on Friday January 12 2001, @7:00PM

It cannot be used yet, but a lot of code is already there, mainly related to the FSM. Get it here.
The specifications have already been updated.
Note that only the last version of these file will be made available on the web site.

Some code and update to the specs

on Monday December 11 2000, @11:00AM

Update to the working document specifying BPP is out.
And there is even some code for the simulation (don't even try to compile it!).
Update: Code not available anymore.

Specifications v2

on Wednesday November 22 2000, @12:00AM

The second release of the working document specifying BPP is out.
Still some TODOs, but the main parts are completely specified (with a FSM, the processing of messages, etc).

The BPP web site is born!

on Friday November 17 2000, @3:00PM

We wish him a long and happy life :)
And the first working document about BPP was released.
