For an Internet Service Provider (ISP), the knowledge of which interdomain paths could be traversed by its BGP announcements - and thus traffic flows - is essential to predict the impact of network faults, to develop effective traffic engineering and peering strategies, and to assess the quality of upstream providers. However, current methodologies do not provide this information. We present methodologies to discover how the BGP announcements for an ISP?s prefix are propagated through the Internet using withdrawals and specially crafted AS-sets. The techniques allow an ISP to determine which paths could be traversed in the presence of network faults or different routing policies on the ISP?s part and to deduce the routing policies of other ISPs with respect to its network. We validate our techniques through experimentation in the IPv6 and IPv4 Internet, showing that they can be safely and effectively applied in real-world situations.
