Creating better local internet maps in the AP region
0 likes47 views
Sofía Silva Berenguer from APNIC presented on designing and deploying a routing measurement platform in the AP region to collect more local BGP data. This would provide benefits like better understanding of routing stability, Internet topology, and ability to detect routing issues faster. Concerns about privacy and costs were addressed by noting that BGP data is already public and no traffic would flow over the measurement sessions. The presentation concluded by encouraging participants to take part and help create better local maps of the Internet topology in the AP region.

- 10. 2018#apricot2018 45 We need better local “maps”! • We will design and deploy a routing measurement platform in our region. – To have better local maps we need more local data • What do my neighbours know about my network? • What does my neighbourhood look like? • Could I do better by connecting to new peers? • Can I detect and troubleshoot routing issues faster? – Sure you can!! 10
- 11. 2018#apricot2018 45 Benefits • To network operators – BGP session status – Routing table size – Real time BGP messages – Reachability of prefixes – Alerts, etc. • Globally – Improved routing stability/robustness understanding – Improved Internet topology understanding 11
- 12. 2018#apricot2018 45 Security/Privacy Concern? • Are you concerned to share routing data? – You shouldn’t! • It’s no secret that the streets in Kathmandu are quite busy, is it? • BGP data is public anyway – You are sharing it with your neighbours, who in turn are sharing it with their neighbours and so on and so forth. • By sharing it with a data collector you are just making it easier to have more and better points of view 12
- 13. 2018#apricot2018 45 Concerns About Costs? • Are you afraid this could increment your transit costs? – No traffic will be sent through the BGP sessions established with us – Just BGP messages • Are you concerned about the effort/time you will have to invest on this? – Establishing the BGP session will just take a few minutes on your side (see next slide J) – No maintenance is required 13
- 14. 2018#apricot2018 45 1st Nepalese feed!! • In less than half an hour: – A BGP session between Isolario and Websurfer was up and running – Krishna and Sachindra had credentials to access Isolario Web Portal and start playing with the tools 14
- 15. 2018#apricot2018 45 Yet another BGP feed? • Are you already participating in any BGP Data Collection project? – RouteViews – RIPE NCC’s RIS – Packet Clearing House – ?? • But! – These are all independent efforts. No single view of the Internet as a whole. – There are not that many collectors in the AP region • So… we are also working on another project :) – Collaborative Project to Integrate Collected BGP Data • In collaboration with other BGP data collection projects • Define a data format and technical solution to integrate the BGP data that is already available 15
- 16. 2018#apricot2018 45 Wrapping up • We’ve been trying to understand the AP region observing it from far far away. • We want to create better local maps of the Internet to be able to: – Detect and troubleshoot issues faster – Identify opportunities of better interconnection – Understand better the Internet topology • We need YOU to be on-board! 16
- 17. 2018#apricot2018 45 Are you interested in participating? • Let me know • Give me your business card • Let’s set up a BGP session • And start creating better maps to see things in more detail! 17
