Abstract :
This paper studies the characteristics of border gateway protocol (BGP) routes. In particular, it identifies autonomous systems (ASs) that appear frequently in path vectors. In addition, it analyzes path vector lengths. Finally, it investigates the prevalence of inflated paths, commonly used by ASs for traffic engineering purposes.
