Accurate measurement, inference and modeling techniques are fundamental to Internet
topology research. Spatial analysis of the Internet is needed to develop network planning …

The largest IXPs carry on a daily basis traffic volumes in the petabyte range, similar to what
some of the largest global ISPs reportedly handle. This little-known fact is due to a few …

Capturing an accurate view of the Internet topology is of great interest to the networking
research community as it has many uses ranging from the design and evaluation of new …

Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, which are realized as overlays on top of the underlying Internet
routing architecture, contribute a significant portion of today's Internet traffic. While the P2P …

There have been many incidents of prefix hijacking in the Internet. The hijacking AS can
blackhole the hijacked traffic. Alternatively, it can transparently intercept the hijacked traffic …

Research on performance, robustness, and evolution of the global Internet is fundamentally
handicapped without accurate and thorough knowledge of the nature and structure of the …

Despite significant efforts to obtain an accurate picture of the Internet's connectivity structure
at the level of individual autonomous systems (ASes), much has remained unknown in terms …

The traditional approach of modeling relationships between ASes abstracts relationship
types into three broad categories: transit, peering, and sibling. More complicated …

Formally, the Internet inter-domain routing system is a collection of networks, their policies,
peering relationships and organizational affiliations, and the addresses they advertize. It …

Prior measurement studies of the Internet have explored traffic and topology, but have
largely ignored edge hosts. While the number of Internet hosts is very large, and many are …
