For such setups at network operators and to further deepen insight into the resilience and reliability of Internet services and their underlying infrastructures in academia, a large monitoring framework should be established. It would be able to build up an assessment and a
track record of “how good” connections via a particular autonomous system are, what the stability of individual paths is within an autonomous system, and what particular hardware resides at certain geographical locations. Such monitoring systems have contributed a great deal to minimize the impacts of BGP hijacking incidents, as malicious and accidental prefix announcements can today be rapidly detected. Establishing a similar system to
understand the exact mechanics, location, and impact of Internet failures could promise to generate a similar leap to a more resilient Internet.
