Abstract
Disclosed is a method and apparatus for inferring AS paths between two endpoint nodes communicating over a network having a plurality of nodes without having access to the endpoint nodes. The method and apparatus determine routing tables of at least some of the plurality of nodes. A relationship between each node is then inferred from the routing tables. The method and apparatus then determine a path between the two endpoint nodes from the relationship and the routing table determination.
