In Latin America, there are still some deficiencies in this regard which result in many people experiencing high latencies in their connections. The main reason for these latencies is the lack of local interconnection between different network operators, which means that traffic between nearby countries must often use distant Internet exchange points, located in the United States or Europe. The deployment of various Internet exchange points (IXPs) has helped improve this situation, although the actual status of connectivity between countries and networks remains a mystery. To find answers to these unknowns, some time ago LACNIC created Simón1, a project that seeks to generate information by measuring latency levels between countries and in this way estimate traffic volumes. To complement the information obtained by the Simón Project, this interconnection study will attempt to understand the current status of the connections between the countries of Latin America based on a different source of information, namely, the BGP routing tables registered and stored by global collectors. Methodology Objectives This study seeks to analyze various characteristics of regional interconnection based on the processing of global BGP routing tables for the purpose of comparing the basic characteristics of route announcements in the region, deriving conclusions regarding operators’ behavior when publishing their prefixes, detecting locations where traffic is exchanged with the largest number of operators, determining the dominant upstream transit providers in each country, the average number of autonomous systems traversed by traffic flows and their impact on regional routing stability, among other factors. Therefore, we determined a set of parameters that would allow us to compare the current status and evolution of the regional Internet with the following objectives: ● To understand the nature of the autonomous systems in each country, how many autonomous systems provide local transit service, and which are connected to the rest of the world. ● To obtain general data on regional routing tables, e.g., the number of announced prefixes, the average length of IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes, and the average length of AS paths. ● To obtain additional data that can help assess Internet development, including the number of IXPs. ● To obtain data on interconnection, both between different countries as well as within each country. Data Sources Global BGP routing tables will be analyzed using RIPE NCC's RIS2 service. The Routing Information Service (RIS) collects and stores Internet routing information obtained from different parts of the world. This global network is comprised of Remote Route Collectors that are typically located at the IXPs. 1 < https://simon.lacnic.net/ > 2 < https://www.ripe.net/analyse/internet-measurements/routing-information-service-ris/ris-raw-data > 4 These collectors store the information in the MRT format described in RFC 63963. Every 15 minute, each collector stores all the BGP packets that have been exchanged (updates), plus a dump of its routing tables every eight hours (RIBs). RIPE currently has 20 collectors in operation: ● rrc00 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands ● rrc01 in London, United Kingdom ● rrc04 in Geneva, Switzerland ● rrc05 in Vienna, Austria ● rrc06 in Otemachi, Japan ● rrc07 in Stockholm, Sweden ● rrc10 in Milan, Italy ● rrc11 in New York, USA ● rrc12 in Frankfurt, Germany ● rrc13 in Moscow, Russia ● rrc14 in Palo Alto, USA ● rrc15 in São Paulo, Brazil ● rrc16 in Miami, USA ● rrc18 in Barcelona, Spain ● rrc19 in Johannesburg, South Africa ● rrc20 in Zurich, Switzerland ● rrc21 in Paris, France ● rrc22 in Bucharest, Romania ● rrc23 in Singapore ● rrc24 in Montevideo, Uruguay For this study, we used the routing table dumps (RIBs) of collector rrc00. The data was processed with pyBGPStream4, a Python library to use CAIDA BGPStream's BGPReader5, which allows the data published by RIPE collectors to be processed simply and efficiently. In addition to the routing tables, in order to conduct a study that considers the countries of Latin America, we need to map allocated number resources to the different countries. To do so, we will use the delegated-extended file. This record contains a daily updated report of the distribution of Internet number resources (IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, autonomous system numbers). Each Regional Registry generates a file in a standardized format defined by the Number Resource Organization (NRO)6 and these files are then consolidated to obtain a single file. Finally, to determine which Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) operate in each country or territory, we will use the CAIDA Internet eXchange Points Dataset7, which uses PCH8 as its data source. Compared with other references such as IXPDB9, this source contains a smaller number of IXPs. At the moment, however, it is the only one that provides historical data and in an easy-to-obtain format. 3 < https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6396.html > 4 < https://bgpstream.caida.org/docs/api/pybgpstream > 5 < https://bgpstream.caida.org/docs/tools/bgpreader > 6 < https://www.nro.net/ > 7 < https://www.caida.org/data/ixps/ > 8 < https://www.pch.net/ > 9 < https://lac-ix.org/ixpdb/ > 5 Data Processing Achieving our stated objectives requires defining how the autonomous systems in each country will be classified, and then processing our proposed data sources to obtain the desired parameters and indicators. The example below will allow us to establish this classification. Figure 1: Representation of the BGP announcement of a route propagated between autonomous systems inside and outside a country or territory. Figure 1 shows AS-1, which announces its prefixes via BGP to AS-2 which, in turn, propagates this announcement to the remaining autonomous systems. Here, it is important to classify the role they each play, which is why they have been represented using three different colors. AS-1 (orange) announces prefixes, therefore it will be classified as an origin AS within this country. The blue systems (AS-2, AS-3, AS-4) provide transit: they connect to AS-1 within the country's territory. Finally, AS-5 (red) also provides transit, yet it is located outside the country. This type of autonomous systems will be classified as upstream and they are the ones that provide connectivity to a country. The announcement may continue to propagate to other autonomous systems, but these paths are no longer relevant for the purpose of a local analysis within the country of the origin AS. This information is obtained by processing the global routing tables stored and published by RIPE NCC collector rrc00. For each entry in the table, we are interested in the set of prefix/as-path pairs as follows: Prefix1/length | AS-X … AS-3 AS-2 AS-1 We will analyze the AS path from right to left, as we want to determine the origin autonomous system and, from there, all other relevant systems as described in Figure 1. 6 However, in order to make sense of this information, we need to map each prefix and autonomous system to a country. To establish this link between resources and territories, we will use the delegated-extended statistics file published by the RIRs. Thus, each entry can be interpreted as follows: [Country of the prefix] | [Country of ASX] … [Country of AS-3] [Country of AS- 2] [Country of AS-1] Now we can start filtering the routing table entries, leaving only those that correspond to prefixes registered in the countries of the LACNIC service region. The AS path must be analyzed from right to left. If the country of AS-1 matches the country of the prefix, it is a route we are interested in analyzing and AS-1 will be considered an origin autonomous system for that country. We must then analyze AS-2. If this AS also belongs to the same country, it is considered a transit AS. Next, we must analyze AS-3 using the same procedure we used for AS-2. If it belongs to another country, it is considered an upstream AS and it is no longer necessary to continue analyzing the AS path. If we apply this logic to the example shown in Figure 1, we obtain the following result: Prefix AS-X ... AS-5 AS-4 AS-3 AS-2 AS-1 Country 1 Country 2 Country 1 Country 1 Country 1 Country 1 Upstream Transit Origin In other words, based on this entry contained in the routing table we analyzed, it is possible to establish that, for this particular country, AS-1 is an Origin AS; AS-2, AS-3 and AS-4 are Transit autonomous systems; and AS-5 is an Upstream AS. 7 Generated Datasets All the data required to meet the stated objectives are stored in datasets, which opens up the possibility of conducting other, more in-depth studies or applying different approaches. Therefore, it was decided to develop a set of scripts that would process the data in stages, obtaining partial results before producing a final dataset with summary data, which, in turn, are the main source for this report.

Cybercrime refers to any crime that involves a computer and network, where computer may or may not play an instrumental part in the commission of the crime. Detection and investigation of cybercrime can likewise be difficult because busy network traffic and frequent online transactions generate large amounts of data, only a small portion of which relates to illegal activities. In this paper, we are focusing on technologies that can help to improve the effective investigation of cybercrime, facilitate police work and enable investigators to allocate their time to other tasks. We have developed an IP mapping tool called MIPA that combines online mapping techniques and IP geolocation technology, and uses application functionality from disparate web sources. The emergence of the Web 2.0 and user-friendly online mapping techniques have created public interest in contributing information through Web- enabled geospatial tools.

A urry of recent 14 research has quantied this, highlighting the expansion of its underlying connectivity network. However, improving the infrastructure 15 is not useful without appropriately provisioned services to exploit it. This paper measures the availability and utilisation of web 16 17 infrastructure in Africa. Whereas others have explored web infrastructure in developed regions, we shed light on practices in developing 18 regions. To achieve this, we apply a comprehensive measurement methodology to collect data from a variety of sources. We rst focus 19 on Google to reveal that its content infrastructure in Africa is, indeed, expanding. That said, we nd that much of its web content is still 20 served from the US and Europe, despite being the most popular website in many African countries. We repeat the same analysis across 21 a number of other regionally popular websites to nd that even top African websites prefer to host their content abroad. To explore 22 the reasons for this, we evaluate some of the major bottlenecks facing content delivery networks (CDNs) in Africa.

  • IANA Report on Recognition of Afrinic As a Regional Internet Registry
    IANA Report Subject: Recognition of AfriNIC as a Regional Internet Registry Date: 6 April 2005 The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (the IANA), as part of the administrative functions associated with management of the Internet Protocol (IP) address space, is responsible for evaluating applications for approval of new Regional Internet Registries. ICANN has received an application for final approval and recognition of the African Internet Numbers Registry (AfriNIC) as the fifth Regional Internet Registry (RIR). Background The role and responsibilities of ICANN/IANA in this area are defined in the Address Supporting Organization Memorandum of Understanding <http://www.icann.org/aso/aso- mou-29oct04.htm> (ASO MOU), and ICP-2 <http://www.icann.org/icp/icp-2.htm> ("Criteria for Establishment of New Regional Internet Registries"). In September 2004, an application was submitted by the AfriNIC organization for recognition, together with a detailed transition which included draft bylaws, policies, funding model, and staff resumes. On request of the ICANN President, the IANA staff conducted a preliminary evaluation. In September 2004 the President reported to the Board his conclusion that the application and transition plan constituted a reasonable basis for eventual recognition, though he noted that some adjustments would be necessary. Also in September 2004, the existing RIRs, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC and RIPE NCC, through the Number Resource Organization (NRO), issued a statement expressing their ongoing and continuing support for AfriNIC, and recommending a favorable response to the application by recognizing AfriNIC's accomplishments thus far. Consistent with the IANA©s preliminary evaluation and the recommendations of the existing RIRs, the ICANN Board on 30 September 2004 gave provisional approval <http://www.icann.org/minutes/resolutions-30sep04.htm> to the AfriNIC application, with the expectation that the transition plan would be completed and an amended or revised application for recognition would be submitted.
