Abstract

A large volume of continuously growing BGP data files can raise two technical challenges regarding scalability and manageability. Due to the recent development of the open-source distributed computing infrastructure, Hadoop, it becomes feasible to handle a large amount of data in a scalable manner. In this paper, we present a new Hadoop-based BGP tool (BGPdoop) that provides the scale-out performance as well as the extensible and agile analysis capability. In particular, BGPdoop realizes a query-based BGP record exploration function using Hive on the partitioned BGP data structure, which enables flexible and versatile analytics of BGP archive files. From the experiments for the scalability with a Hadoop cluster of 20 nodes, we demonstrate that BGPdoop achieves 5 times higher performance and the user-defined analysis capability by expressing diverse BGP routing analytics in Hive queries.
