A Longitudinal Study of BGP MOAS Prefixes

An IP prefix can be announced on the Internet from multiple endpoints, possibly leading to so-calledMOAS (Multiple-Origin AS) prefixes. Longlived MOASes are traditionally considered to be the result of network topology engineering such as prefix multihoming. Short-lived MOAS are commonly attributed to be the result of router misconfigurations.
