Abstract

As threats on the Internet become increasingly sophisticated, we now recognize the value in controlling the routing of data in a manner that ensures security. However, few technical means for achieving this goal exist. In this paper we propose and design a system that allows users to specify regions of the Internet they wish their data to avoid. Using our system, data will either arrive at the destination along a path that avoids the specified regions, or no avoiding path exists. Beyond the design, we discuss the deployment, performance and security issues of this system, along with alternative approaches that could be used.
