The interconnection of separately administrated, autonomous communications networks into a large internetwork of global extent raises significant technical, managerial and security issues. Individual networks, or collections of networks, may exhibit different characteristics with respect to usage rules, cost, performance, and security services. In a large internetwork of autonomously administered constituent networks, clients of routing services may wish to obtain security and other service guarantees for their internetwork traffic. This paper analyzes requirements for these guarantees and suggests techniques to meet these requirements based on policy routing mechanisms.
