Overview
The Internet topology discovery at the IP interface level is mostly based on traceroute. Traceroute servers are located around the world and, based on a large destinations list, probe the network. It has been demonstrated that probing the network in such a way causes redundancy.
In this work, we propose to reduce the amount of required probes by triggering a traceroute based on BGP information. Our BGP guided probing software, once connected to a BGP feed, is able to decide whether a traceroute towards a given prefix must be launched or not.
BGP misconfigurations strike back in Pakistan and affect Youtube

All network engineers who are working with the interdomain routing protocol used on the Interned named BGP know that BGP is not 100% secure and that misconfigurations or attacks could cause problems on the Internet. The key problem is that BGP does not have mechanisms to verify the validity of a received route advertisement. From time to time, misconfigurations happen and are discussed on operators mailing lists such as nanog. Yesterday, youtube was affected by such a misconfiguration.
