Zusammenfassung:	Improved systems and methods for distributing interdomain routing information within an Autonomous System (AS). A protocol extension to BGP, iBGPd (internal Border Gateway Protocol downloader), has been developed to replace IBGP in distributing BGP interdomain routing information within an AS. The iBGPd technique distributes routing information hop-by-hop using a reliable multi-party transport protocol. Scalability is greatly improved since the use of a full mesh of TCP connections is avoided. Also, there are improvements in routing information propagation delay and routing stability. Drawbacks related to the use of route reflectors and confederations are avoided.
