On the Application of BGP Routing Views
Song Xing, Adam S. Huarng, Xiannong Meng, Albert Bader · 2011
In this paper, we present two applications of BGP routing views to the measurement of Web growth and the deployment of IP-based networks or services. A high efficient Importance Sampling approach is introduced to estimate the number of IP addresses of active Web servers, in which the entire IP address space is sampled based on the biasing density obtained from the NEXT-HOP attribute of the BGP data. Additionally the most active AS domains have been identified by exploring the AS-PATH attribute of the BGP routing dumps. This will help discover the approaches to route the IP data in the most efficient way possible.
