Diamond Miner - Comprehensive Discovery of the Internet's Topology Diamonds

Explore a comprehensive 20-minute conference talk from USENIX NSDI '20 that introduces Diamond Miner, a groundbreaking system for discovering the Internet's topology diamonds. Delve into the innovative approach that combines high-speed probing with multipath discovery, making Internet-wide topology mapping inclusive of load-balanced paths feasible. Learn about the significant findings, including 64% more edges and more complex topologies compared to existing systems. Examine the scrutiny of topological changes between snapshots and the attribution of forwarding differences to load balancer "remapping" events. Gain insights into the precise categorization of remapping events and their frequent contribution to path changes. Discover how Diamond Miner and the collected Internet-wide topologies can facilitate a better understanding of the Internet's true structure and resilience.
