Abstract
RouteViews now operates 50+ collectors with hundreds of peering sessions, and every session has a storage and operational cost. This talk introduces a per-session value metric — the unique information each session adds across edges, paths, prefixes, origins, and shorter paths. Examples spanning a Tier-1, two content providers, a regional provider, and a regional peer show that edge networks with full routes carry the unique signal, while Tier-1 transit and peer-only sessions contribute less information wrt the topology of the Internet

Speaker
Nina Bargisen
Nina is an expert in Internet infrastructure. She is specialised in peering strategies, content delivery and network performance. She has held various roles in the industry since 1999, first in network planning, architecture and peering. Later, she joined Netflix, where she played a key role in managing network interconnection and optimising content delivery across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This involved building close relationships with ISPs going from small regional networks to global providers in order to secure the best delivery of the high volume video traffic during the period of time where Netflix expanded and became a global player.
She then joined Kentik as an evangelizer for a couple of years. Nina is now working as the peering coordinator for the RouteViews project and supporting the Network Startup Resource Center as a trainer and educational materials developer. Additionally, Nina co-chairs the Measurement, Analysis, and Tools Working Group (MAT-WG) at RIPE. Nina is a frequent speaker at industry forums, such as NOGs and Peering Forums, where she shares her deep knowledge on topics ranging from peering to network optimization and infrastructure planning.
Throughout her career Nina has used RouteViews and tools based on RouteViews data or other BGP data collections as an instrumental tool to understand the partner she has worked with - that could be anyone from a peering partner, embedded server partner, customer, provider or regulator.
