Abstract
We present the demonstration of a comprehensive toolkit for analyzing and implementing routing policies, ranging from high-level guidelines to specific router configurations. Our Formally Safe Routing (FSR) toolkit performs all of these functions from the same algebraic representation of routing policy. We show that routing algebra has a very natural translation to both integer constraints (to perform safety analysis using SMT solvers) and declarative programs (to generate distributed implementations). Our demonstration with realistic topologies and policies shows how FSR can detect problems in an AS's iBGP configuration, prove sufficient conditions for BGP safety, and empirically evaluate convergence time.

FSR: formal analysis and implementation toolkit for safe interdomain routing
Interdomain routing stitches the disparate parts of the Internet together, making protocol stability a critical issue to both researchers and practitioners. Yet, researchers create safety proofs and counterexamples by hand and build simulators and ...
Modeling and analyzing the convergence property of the BGP routing protocol in SPIN
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an interdomain routing protocol such that each autonomous system can independently formulate its routing policies. However, BGP does not always converge, because its routing policies may conflict and cause BGP to ...
