METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR DETERMINING THE TYPES OF INTERCONNECTION AGREEMENTS APPLIED TO INTERDOMAIN LINKS OF THE INTERNET NETWORK, AND USE OF AUTOMATIC ROUTER CONFIGURATION IN A METHOD, SYSTEM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

The invention relates to a method of determining the types of interconnection agreements applied to links connecting a first Internet domain with a second Internet domain. According to the invention, the set of interdomain routing paths is known and defined by an ordered succession of links and a set of rules is created in order to define compatibility or incompatibility between the agreement types of two consecutive links. The inventive method comprises the following steps consisting in: decomposing (41) all of the routing paths into a complete constraint set, each constraint comprising two consecutive links of the routing path; and determining (42) the type of interconnection agreement of each interdomain link by applying the set of rules to the constraint set.
