Abstract: How Prevalent is Prefix Hijacking on the Internet?

Peter Boothe and James Hiebert, Univ. of Oregon; Randy Bush, IIJ

We have monitored BGP announcements for one particular month, and then tried to automatically extract hijacking information. By the date of NANOG 36, we hope to have the whole process automated and to have completed a study spanning many months instead of just one. We'd also like feedback as to whether a biweekly hijacking report would be useful to the community at large.
