VAST: Visualizing Autonomous System TopologyExtracting 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.For more information, see the VAST: Visualizing Autonomous System Topology home page. |
