Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is an Inter-Autonomous System routing protocol that operates over the reliable Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). The most important function of a BGP speaker is to exchange network reachability information with other speakers. In this paper, we describe collection and preliminary analysis of BCNET traffic. The traffic was collected using special purpose hardware: the Net Optics Director 7400 and the Endace DAG 5.2X card. Collected data was analyzed using the Wireshark open-source packet analyzer.
