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

摘要：RouteViews是一个系统，用于系统地收集互联网流量使用的路由（数据从A点到B点的路径）数据。 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互联网路由数据源。 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数据一直是具有挑战性的新用户，因为数据是目前结构化的平面二进制文件，没有简单的接口，用于搜索或访问数据。本项目将设计和实现数据库访问RouteViews数据，并将开发简单的接口和工具，用于访问数据。 用于获取和存储数据的资源也将扩大。 该项目将向包括本科教育在内的更广泛的社区开放路由数据的使用。 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，并将促进新的访问方法的使用，该项目将扩大路由数据的收集，将使访问所收集的数据更容易，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.
