Distinguishing multihoming from traffic engg.

Tue Nov 12 22:23:25 UTC 2002

Hi,

  How does one find out if a prefix is due to multihoming or traffic
engineering if the Origin AS is different from that of the parent prefix
and there is no Origin AS path-prepending? (apart from looking up whois)

  Even if there is Origin AS path-prepending how do we know that the
prefix is due to traffic engineering and not due to multihoming?

  Roughly what percentage of prefixes which are holes that have an
Origin AS different from that of the parent would be due to due to
multihoming?

Harsha.
