ViAggre applies to legacy routers and can be adopted independently and autonomously by any ISP. ViAggre is effectively a scalability technique that allows an ISP to modify its internal routing such that individual routers in the ISP’s network only maintain a part of the global routing table. We find that ViAggre can shrink the routing table on routers by more than an order of magnitude while imposing negligible traffic stretch.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/viaggre-making-routers-last-longer/}, }
