Soundness of Chilean Internet Routes

Internet is known as the net of networks. It is a huge decentralized network composed by smaller inter-connected networks named autonomous systems (AS). The autonomous systems's interconnection is done by the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). Several tools have been proposed to monitor BGP problems. Even though there is no long term indicator to rank Internet routes's health based on long term BGP problems long term periods. This paper quantifies the reach ability from several places in the world to many networks. We present a new model to measure network soundness, by quantifying the routing reach ability to a network. The metric is the percentage of the network that is present in the routing tables of selected routers around the world. A systematic monitoring system based on the analytic model is presented. Finally, we analyze the impact of the Chilean 2010 earthquake on the national network infrastructure, based on our model.
