Main author

C-BGP is written and maintained by Bruno Quoitin within the Networking Lab, Computer Science Department at University of Mons (UMONS), in Belgium.

Contributors

  • Bruno Quoitin (UMONS, Belgium) is the main author.
  • Virginie Van den Schrieke (UCL, Belgium) is currently implementing a model of HLP in C-BGP.
  • Sebastien Tandel (UCL, Belgium) wrote the initial Python module that interfaces with C-BGP and contributed to the integration within the TOTEM toolbox (loading XML topologies). He also improved the BGP filters by adding route-maps and regular expressions on AS-Paths. He worked on building a C-BGP model of a large transit network (more). In addition, he is investigating forwarding deflection that may occur due to route-reflection.
  • Stefano Iasi (Politecnico di Torino, Italy) worked on an OSPF model for C-BGP that supports multiple areas and Equal-Cost Multiple Paths (ECMP). He also investigated the forwarding deflection that may occur in OSPF networks.
  • Cedric de Launois (UCL, Belgium) helped writing the initial autoconf/automake scripts.
