An extension of the ongoing project ‘Developing a collaborative BGP routing analyzing and diagnosing platform’

Tsinghua University (THU)

This proposal is an extension of the ongoing project ‘Developing a collaborative BGP routing analyzing and diagnosing platform’. 17 National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) in the Asia Pacific region participated in the ongoing project, which has established a distributed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing monitoring platform and a Cyberspace Governance Technology Forum (CGTF) Looking Glass platform. 15 NREN partners set up sessions with the BGPWatch platform and 7 NREN partners set up connections with CGTF Looking Glass platform.

The project will:

  • Develop an integrated Looking Glass platform, which can leverage many Looking Glasses and return data to users.
  • Use Looking Glass to further check routing hijacking at the data plan, and to improve detection accuracy.
  • Develop path hijacking detection and routing leak detection. 
  • Continue to maintain and fix bugs in the BGPWatch platform.
  • Continue community development and engagement, and international collaboration.
