Abstract:
1. A method of identifying a set of at least one router likely to receive information communicated in a first direction relative to at least one node of a first autonomous system, the method comprising: identifying a first set of at least one route for information communicated in a second direction, different from the first direction relative to the at least one node of the first autonomous system; identifying a second set of at least one additional route in the second direction relative to the at least one node of the first autonomous system; providing at least one identifier of at least one router corresponding to the first set of at least one route; and providing as the set of at least one router likely to receive information communicated in the first direction relative to the at least one node of the first autonomous system, at least one identifier of at least one router corresponding to the second set of at least one additional route, said at least one router corresponding to the second set of at least one additional route not identifying itself as receiving information communicated in the first direction relative to the at least one node of the first autonomous system, the first and second directions being either outbound to, or inbound from, the at least one node of the first autonomous system.
