Abstract

BGP, the Internet's interdomain routing protocol, lacks native mechanisms to prevent errors like route leaks and attacks like prefix hijacks. This limitation can compromise robustness against link failures, degrade performance of distributed systems, and lead to unreachability. To aid researchers and network operators overcome these challenges, we present RouteWatcher: a tool that monitors and validates Internet routes according to inferences based on a routing model. RouteWatcher integrates multiple data sources into a Web interface that allows researchers and operators to identify and analyze routing anomalies.
