During the last few years, more and more of the medium-to-large Internet eXchange Points
(IXP) around the world have started to operate a route server and offer its use as a free value …

Peering infrastructures, namely, colocation facilities and Internet exchange points, are
located in every major city, have hundreds of network members, and support hundreds of …

Knowledge of the Internet topology and the business relationships between Autonomous
Systems (ASes) is the basis for studying many aspects of the Internet. Despite the significant …

The AS topology incompleteness problem is derived from difficulties in the discovery of p2p
links, and is amplified by the increasing popularity of Internet eXchange Points (IXPs) to …

Internet topology research is often done at the autonomous system level because of its
highest level of granularity and the availability of several public datasets. The purpose of this …

IP traffic with forged source addresses (ie, spoofed traffic) enables a series of threats ranging
from the impersonation of remote hosts to massive denial-of-service attacks. Consequently …

BGP-Multipath (BGP-M) is a multipath routing technique for load balancing. Distinct from
other techniques deployed at a router inside an Autonomous System (AS), BGP-M is …

The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is a distributed protocol that manages interdomain
routing without requiring a centralized record of which autonomous systems (ASes) connect …

BGP communities are widely used to tag prefix aggregates for policy, traffic engineering, and
inter-AS signaling. Because individual ASes define their own community semantics, many …

BGP communities allow operators to influence routing decisions made by other networks
(action communities) and to annotate their network's routing information with metadata such …
