The RouteViews Project: Update
RouteViews was initiated in 1995 at the University of Oregon to allow network operators see what their routing tables looked like from an external perspective. Over the years since, this community project has set up collectors in strategic locations around the world, allowing network operators a rich view of their routing announcements, and researchers a valuable resource for tracking the growth and variations in the global Internet infrastructure. This presentation introduces the new team behind RouteViews, and shares the new latest developments in the project, now operated on behalf of the global Internet community by the Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC). Some of the developments are a new Peering Policy, How to use the RouteViews system as a network operator and what are we working on for the future.
