BGP Guided Probing

Triggering traceroute based on BGP information

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.
