	abstract = {In this research, we propose to modify and extend epidemic routing used in intermittent networks. In particular, we propose to include immunity-based information disseminated in the reverse once messages get delivered to their destination. The goal is to design a more efficient routing protocol in terms of resource utilization. The idea is to analyze and evaluate the network performance using an immunity scheme in the context of epidemic routing and its variants. The reverse dissemination of such information requires minimal resources and the tradeoff in timely purging of delivered messages can be significant. We are using ns2 to implement a detailed simulation of the proposed immunity-based epidemic routing.},

	abstract = {Thousands of competing autonomous systems must cooperate with each other to provide global Internet connectivity. Each autonomous system (AS) encodes various economic, business, and performance decisions in its routing policy. The current interdomain routing system enables each AS to express policy using rankings that determine how each router in the AS chooses among different routes to a destination, and filters that determine which routes are hidden from each neighboring AS. Because the Internet is composed of many independent, competing networks, the interdomain routing system should provide autonomy, allowing network operators to set their rankings independently, and to have no constraints on allowed filters. This paper studies routing protocol stability under these conditions. We first demonstrate that ldquonext-hop rankings,rdquo commonly used in practice, may not ensure routing stability. We then prove that, when providers can set rankings and filters autonomously, guaranteeing that the routing system will converge to a stable path assignment imposes strong restrictions on the rankings ASes are allowed to choose. We discuss the implications of these results for the future of interdomain routing.},
