논문명: Collecting the Internet AS-level Topology


1) 인터넷 구조를 크게 볼 때, 그리고 주요 연구의 기초 자료가 된다.
At the inter-domain level, the Internet topology can be represented by a graph with Autonomous Systems(ASes) as nodes and AS peeerings as links. This AS-level topology graph has been widely used in a variety of research efforts.

The entire Internet can be viewed as an AS-level topology graph where each AS is a node, and the BGP peering between thwo ASes is a link. This AS-level topology has important implications for both day to day Internet operations and Internet research


2) AS level topology 구축 방법
An AS-level topology estimate can be derived from BGP routing tables. Each entry in a BGP routing table lists the path of ASes used to reach a destination prefix, and thus each entry implicitly lists AS connectivity information

3) BGP snapshot 의 문제점
A BGP routing table snapshot only captures AS links used in the router's BGP paths at the time, even though multiple alternative paths exist for almost all the destinations.
