Abstract

   Routing is essential to a network. Routing scalability is essential
   to a large network. When routing does not scale, there is a direct
   impact on the stability and performance of a network. Therefore,
   routing scalability is an important issue, especially for a large
   network. This document identifies major factors affecting routing
   scalability as well as basic principles of designing scalable routing
   for large networks.
