  1. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) Data Analysis Ofori Kwadwo, SUNY Old Westbury, McNairAgbeko Komla, Clarkson Univ., McNairRenle Xia, Monroe College, McNairDr. Jeanna Matthews, Clarkson UniversityTodd Deshane, Clarkson University Mathematics & Computer Science Department

  2. Overview • Motivation • Project Objectives • Data Analysis • Current Results • Future Work

  3. The Problem • How big is the Internet? • 200 million hosts • How do packets find their way from source machine to destination?

  4. Internet Navigation • Divide and Conquer • Autonomous Systems • How many Autonomous Systems are there? • About 65,536 ASes • There is still a problem… • Routers • Determine the next network point for a packet • BGP The language spoken by routers between ASes

  5. BGP Overview • Routers “gossip” about paths Routers Packets

  6. Routing Instability • What can lead to Internet instability? • Inaccurate gossip • Changes in paths • Malfunctioning routers

  7. Project Objectives • To analyze actual traces of BGP conversations • To use this data to really understand how BGP behaves in practice • To examine the implication of BGP data on the stability of Internet routing • To read and validate existing research in this area on this data set

  8. Project Procedure • Collect raw data • Import into database • Query the database • Analyze results

  9. Data Information

  10. Announcement 205.113.0.0/16 • Contains a new path • Can reach the route prefix through the path: • The format of an announcement Message 1239 6453 5769 Protocol | Time | Type | PeerIP | PeerAS | Prefix BGP | 884831401 | A | 144.228.107.1 | 1239 | 205.113.0.0/16 |1239 6453 5769 |IGP | 192.41.177.241 | 0 | 91

  11. Withdrawal 198.163.111.0/24 • Path is no longer available • i.e: the route prefixis no longer reachable by the previous announced path • The format of a withdrawal Message Protocol | Time | Type | PeerIP | PeerAS | Prefix BGP | 884831402 | W | 204.70.7.53 | 3561 |198.163.111.0/24

  12. Data Analysis BGP | 884831401 | A | 144.228.107.1 | 1239 | 205.113.0.0/16|1239 6453 5769 |IGP | 192.41.177.241 | 0 | 91 • What is the average Path Length? • How rapidly do announced paths change? How often are they withdrawn?

  13. 1997 1998 1999 2000

  14. Average Path Length 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003

  15. Future Work • Import data from 2001 to present • Analyze trends • Compare those result to the current ones • Develop an easy web front end to the database
