The Internet network is composed of tens of thousands Autonomous Systems (AS) networks. Each AS establishes links with other AS to learn routes toward any destination in the whole Internet. Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is responsible for the propagation of reachability informations (routes to address ranges) originated by all AS in the Internet. Routing policies of ASs and the AS-level network topology are unknown, but they shape the possible BGP paths learned and used by routers and though end-to-end flows of IP packets in the network. The position of an AS in the Internet hierarchy determines its reachability profile to the hundreds of thousands destinations in the Network. We study here a new algorithm to compute an AS ranking that evaluates the average transit operated by an AS in BGP routing. This ranking can be used for decision support in (re-)negotiation of business agreements between AS.
Bio:
Mickael Meulle received a B.A. in Physics, a M.S. and Ph. D in Computer Science from the Blaise Pascal University, Clermont-Ferrand (France), in 2000, 2003 and 2007, respectively. Mickael also received an Engineer Diploma from Institut Supérieur d'Informatique et de Mathématique Appliquées, Clermont Ferrand (France) in 2003. The M.S. and Ph. D. thesis were pursued at Orange Labs, Issy-Les-Moulineaux (France) and are dealing with discovery of Internet topology, inference of Internet routing policies and Internet provider business relationships. Mickael became a member of CORE/CPN research staff at Orange Labs after completion of the Ph.D.
