Abstract

The incompleteness of the Internet AS-level topology is the most serious pitfall of research studies concerning the Internet inter-domain ecosystem. In this demo we show two projects aimed at filling this gap by offering services to different type of users. The first is Portolan, a smartphone-based crowdsourcing system which provides an app for Android that volunteers can install to run traceroute measurements to discover the Internet topology. Then, we introduce Isolario, which provides real-time services for network operators in change of their full routing table. Finally, we describe joint services provided by Portolan and Isolario and the benefit obtained.
