Internet Topology Discovery Through mrinfo Probing • Benoit Donnet • Workshop on Active Internet Measurements • San Diego - Feb. 2010
Agenda • Part 1: mrinfo • Context • Probing Methodology • Dataset • Part 2: Delimiting AS Borders • Router-2-AS Mapping • Evaluation • Part 3: Intra-Domain Study • Connected Components • Importance of Layer-2 • Conclusion
Context • Topology discovery • IP interface level • Router level • New probing methodology • No traceroute-based • mrinfo
Probing (1) • Topology discovery using mrinfo • Uses IGMP message • ASK_NEIGHBORS • NEIGHBORS_REPLY • Output • All interfaces of a given router • All multicast links • mrinfo applied recursively • mrinfo-rec
Dataset (2) • Four years of data • collected daily • May 1st, 2004 to December 31st, 2008 • Recursive probing scheme: mrinfo-rec • Publicly available • http://svnet.u-strasbg.fr/mrinfo/index.html (raw data) • http://inl.info.ucl.ac.be/content/mrinfo (refined data)
Evaluation • Subset of original dataset • 1 probing dataset/month • 56 samples • Purpose • Algorithm efficiency
Conclusion • New tool for collecting topological data • mrinfo-rec • Intra-Domain topology delimitation • Importance of layer-2
