Abstract

A method of placing prefix hijacking detection modules in a communications network includes selecting a set of candidate locations. For each candidate location, a detection coverage ratio with respect to a target Autonomous System is calculated. Based on the relative size of the coverage ratios, proposed locations for the prefix hijacking detection modules are determined.
