Dear all,
I am a PhD student at EPFL,
Of course, in order to perform this kind of studies I
need a way to distinguish between these two worlds. I’ve learnt that
1) Is
this approach to obtain a list of research and academic ISPs correct?
2) Do
you maybe know of such lists compiled before?
3) If
I keep not only the destination ASes, but also all ASes on the AS paths towards
these destination I obtain a list of about 1400 ASes. How should I understand
this? Does it mean that some research and academic destinations are reachable
from
4) Of
course, research and academic ASes are often well connected to the commercial
Internet. My guess is that in most cases their peering relationship is
“customer-provider”, where commercial ASes are providers. Is it
possible that an academic AS is a provider for some commercial ASes? If so,
does it happen often?
Thank you in advance for your comments.
