Collaborative Research: CI-ADDO-EN: Making Internet Routing Data Accessible To All

摘要：RouteViews是一个系统地收集互联网流量所使用的路由（数据从a点到B点的路径）上的数据的系统。它在研究重大事件（如互联网上发生的大规模中断）方面发挥了关键作用。RouteViews数据档案是计算机网络、网络运营和网络安全社区使用最广泛的Internet路由数据来源。它们也越来越多地用于网络拓扑增长和网络经济学的研究。然而，访问RouteViews数据对新用户来说是一个挑战，因为数据目前是以平面二进制文件的形式结构的，没有简单的接口来搜索或访问数据。该项目将设计和实现对RouteViews数据的数据库访问，并将开发用于访问数据的简单接口和工具。用于获取和存储数据的资源也将扩大。该项目将向更广泛的社区开放路由数据的使用，包括本科教育。它将与社区合作，提高人们对路由数据在研究和教育中的潜在用途的认识，并将促进使用新的访问方法。该项目将扩展路由数据收集，将使其更容易访问收集的数据，并将有利于网络研究，网络运营和网络安全。

Abstract: RouteViews is a system for systematically collecting data on the routes (the paths by which data gets from point A to point B) used by Internet traffic. It has played a critical role in the study of significant events, such as large scale outages, that have taken place in the Internet. The RouteViews data archives are the most widely used source of Internet routing data for the computer networking, network operations and network security communities. They are also increasingly being used in studies of network topological growth and network economics. However, access to the RouteViews data has been challenging to new users since the data is current structured as flat binary files with no simple interfaces for searching or accessing the data.This project will design and implement database access to the RouteViews data, and will develop simple interfaces and tools for accessing the data. The resources used to acquire and store the data will also be expanded. The project will open up the use of routing data to a broader community including undergraduate education. It will work with the community to raise awareness about the potential uses of routing data in research and education, and will promote the use of the new access methods.The project will expand routing data collection, will make it easier to access the collected data and will benefit networking research, network operations and network security.
