This paper talks about trends and challenge in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing table. They show
that BGP routing table has grown rapidly for the last few years. It is caused by several factor, such as
fragmentation of allocated IP blocks and space duplication. Their analysis shows that the majority of global
prefixes are /24 size, which means major number in global routing table serves local customer network.
The space duplication problem also supports this argument. The statistics shows that there is a trend of
using global routing table to serve local needs. There are several questions. Is it possible to use parallel
processing to improve the performance of BGP routing? What will happen if there is link failures in BGP?
Any way to solve this issue? Is there a way to improve the BGP performance to reduce the number of
duplicated routes since it is wasteful?
