Today, the complexity of ISPs' networks make it difficult to investigate the implications of internal or external changes on the distribution of the traffic across their network. In this talk, we present an open-source routing solver, called C-BGP, that eases the investigation of changes in the routing or the topology of large networks. We illustrate how to build a model of a real transit network. Then, we use the model to evaluate two different "what-if" scenarios. The first scenario studies the impact of changes in the Internet connectivity of the transit network (peering placement). The second investigates the impact of failures in its internal topology on the traffic distribution.
