Abstract

Internet route survey systems such as Ark and IPRS have typically been evaluated on how well they uncover internet topology (nodes and links from consecutive traceroutehops). We present a new metric, the forwarding score, better adapted to assessing how these systems capture routing behavior, and compare this metric over eight days' data.
