近年来，中间盒功能（CGNAT，代理，加速器等）的发展兴起，参与了互联网的僵化。并行地，已经开发了各种解决方案来检测或规避不想要的中间盒干扰，诸如基于UDP的中间盒防护传输（Google的QUIC、PLUS）、对TCP的中间盒防护扩展（TCP CUPS、TCPcrypt）和中间盒遍历机制（STUN、ICE、PLUS）[1]。所有这些解决方案都假设中间盒无处不在。然而，在IPv4有线网络中，缺少它们在野外的实际部署视图。特别是，了解自治系统（AS）如何部署中间盒的流行性和持久性将提供额外的相关信息，互联网拓扑模型。本文旨在填补这一空白。基于一个大规模的测量活动，我们突出了不同的特点，中间盒部署在AS引起中间盒配置文件。
Recent years have seen an uprise in the development of middleboxes functionalities (CGNATs, proxies, accelerators, etc), participating so in the ossification of the Internet. In parallel, various solutions have been developed to detect or circumvent unwanted middleboxes interferences such as UDP-based middlebox-proof transports (Google’s QUIC, PLUS), middleboxproof extensions to TCP (HICCUPS, TCPcrypt), and middlebox traversal mechanisms (STUN, ICE, PLUS) [1].,, All those solutions make the assumption of ubiquitous middleboxes. However, a view of their actual deployment in the wild, in IPv4 wired networks, is missing. In particular, knowing how autonomous systems (ASes) deploy middleboxes in terms of prevalence and persistence would provide additional relevant information to Internet topology models. In this paper, we aim at filling this gap. Based on a large-scale measurement campaign, we highlight different characteristics of middlebox deployment within ASes to elicit middleboxes profiles.
