Abstract
A method for generating a traffic matrix is provided that includes receiving a first set of data from a first provider edge element and a second set of data from a second provider edge element, the first and second sets of data including border gateway protocol (BGP) next hop information. The first and second sets of data may then be aggregated. Information that is associated with one or more customer network elements is then filtered out in order to produce a traffic matrix.
