Abstract

In today's Internet, users or network operators cannot easily find out how reachable their IP address prefixes are from the rest of the Internet, nor do they know what kind of packet delivery quality they receive from Internet routing. Instead of setting up probing sites from multiple locations on the Internet and probing every prefix, we leverage the fact that there are continuous collections of BGP updates concerning the reachability of every IP address prefix. We introduce a novel data mining method and cluster IP address prefixes according to their BGP attributes, and verify if each cluster corresponds to a different level of packet delivery performance. Users can classify their prefix to see to which cluster the prefix belongs to.
