Analyzing The Cidr Report (fwd)

  • From: Lee Howard
  • Date: Mon Dec 23 12:43:50 2002

I've agreed to analyze the CIDR Report, to understand why people don't
aggregate more/better, as suggested below.  I'll look into AS701, and
(time and security permitting) any other UUNET ASN.  I do expect to make 
my findings public, at least in summary form.

Whatever I find will be more useful if other operators do the same, so
we can present an overall analysis of many of the top "offenders" of
poor aggregation.  At first glance, it looks like it may not require
too much time, but I would like to agree on a methodology and a final
report format.  So if anyone from any of the operators listed below 
would like to work jointly, reply privately and we'll work out the
details.

Aggregation Summary
The algorithm used in this report proposes aggregation only
when there is a precise match using the AS path, so as 
to preserve traffic transit policies. Aggregation is also
proposed across non-advertised address space ('holes').
