Abstract
BGP is a dynamic protocol used by Autonomous Systems (AS) constituting the Internet to exchange information in order to set up or remove links between AS. It takes into account the status of existing links and the internal policy of the AS. New links can be either legitimate or malicious. Having an objective way to detect route-leaks and/or route-hijacks could be a good starting point for deciding to accept or reject newly advertised links. In this work, an algorithm has been developed to evaluate link reputation on the basis of metrics. The work proceeded in three steps: first, BGPStream is used to overcome difficulties related to the collection of BGP record files from various collectors and projects. In the analysis phase (second phase), the algorithm is applied on collected data. The final phase is to visualize the results with a modified version of BGPlayJs to display the links reputation by coloring them from green to red. This algorithm could be used for baseline leak/hijack detection.
