We often read that the Internet (i.e. BGP) has a long convergence delay. But why is it so slow? And can we (researchers) do anything about it?
Create business incentives to improve it. This is a non-technical problem, we've long had technical tools to make it fast, there just isn't incentive to make it fast. Customers are not asking operators for better convergence speeds.
Please help us out to find out by answering our short anonymous survey (<10 minutes).
Can you tell me what have you done so far? What are the default MRAI values for each AFI/SAFI for IOS, IOS-XR, Junos, SROS, VRP and EOS? Then people responding don't have to check what their NOS does, they can refer to your table and tell the default value, since this is what
99% will be using.
Now your survey has built-in selection bias, people who answer it are people who know what it is and who are concerned about it and have changed it, this is not a representative group and you will start your work with very bad data. -- ++ytti
