Inter-domain Routing Message Distribution Through Wide-Area Broadcast Channel

An architecture for distributing routing updates via a broadcast channel is disclosed. A routing fountain ("RF") is configured to receive routing information updates. The routing information updates include network addressing information, changes to a routing structure of a network, or general information regarding the network. One or more routing fountain subscriber ("RFS") nodes are configured to send routing information updates to the RF and receive routing information updates from a routing distribution channel ("RDC"). Broadcast equipment is configured to receive routing information updates from the RF and broadcast the received routing information updates to the one or more RFS nodes via the RDC.
