VAST: Visualizing Autonomous System Topology
Extracting specific and relevant information regarding the
Internet's BGP routing topology is a challenging task. In
this paper we present a novel technique that can be used
to visualize various aspects of the Internet topology. We
have implemented our visualization techniques in a unique
tool called VAST (Visualizing Autonomous System Topology).
VAST visualizations allow security researchers to
extract relevant information quickly from raw BGP routing
datasets. VAST provides visualizations that represent information
about both the overall topological properties of
the Internet as well as individual Autonomous System (AS)
behavior.
