  10. How L IFE G UARD Locates Failures L IFE G UARD : 1. Maintains background historical atlas 2. Isolates direction of failure, measures working direction 3. Tests historical paths in failing direction in order to prune candidate failure locations 4. Locates failure as being at the horizon of reachability L IFE G UARD : Practical Repair of Persistent Route Failures 14

  11. Our Approach and Outline L IFE G UARD : L ocating I nternet F ailures E ffectively and G enerating U sable A lternate R outes D ynamically ! Locate the ISP / link causing the problem ! Suggest that other ISPs reroute around the problem L IFE G UARD : Practical Repair of Persistent Route Failures 15

  12. Our Approach and Outline L IFE G UARD : L ocating I nternet F ailures E ffectively and G enerating U sable A lternate R outes D ynamically ! Locate the ISP / link causing the problem ! Suggest that other ISPs reroute around the problem ! What would we like to add to BGP to enable this? ! What can we deploy today, using only available protocols and router support? L IFE G UARD : Practical Repair of Persistent Route Failures 15

  13. Our Goal for Failure Avoidance ! Enable content / service providers to repair persistent routing problems affecting them, regardless of which ISP is causing them Setting ! Assume we can locate problem ! Assume we are multi-homed / have multiple data centers ! Assume we speak BGP ! We use BGP-Mux to speak BGP to the real Internet: 5 US universities as providers L IFE G UARD : Practical Repair of Persistent Route Failures 16

  18. A Mechanism for Failure Avoidance Forward path: Choose route that avoids ISP or ISP-ISP link Reverse path: Want others to choose paths to my prefix P that avoid ISP or ISP-ISP link X ! Want a BGP announcement AVOID(X,P): ! Any ISP with a route to P that avoids X uses such a route ! Any ISP not using X need only pass on the announcement L IFE G UARD : Practical Repair of Persistent Route Failures 18

A: Alternate policy-compliant paths exist in 90% of simulated AVOID(X,P) announcements. ! Simulated 10 million AVOIDs on actual measured routes.
