Border Gateway Protocol, an important inter-domain routing protocol, has a number of vulnerabilities. Little is known about how BGP actually performs in today’s Internet. We designed a framework, BGP Assistant, to monitor and analyze BGP traffic. Number of BGP Updates and Route convergence time are used to characterize BGP behavior. Preliminary results with the Oregon Route Views BGP show that ...
