Unless you have a tremendous amount of peers and feeds to work with, you'll have a hard time building a valid interconnection graph from BGP cli outputs. The best mapping outputs I have seen for now have been built using probe clusters (either RIPE ATLAS or NLNOG Ring) with traceroutes, by merging data from the observed routes AND both DNS and BGP. DNS is quite usefull here as most of us use location codes in router's FQDN. BGP will only help in matching subnets within ASes and corroborate some discrete relationships. Also note that each node in the directed graph may expose multiple addresses, and that latency between routers isn't a reliable metric (still a usefull indicator, YMMV) Best regards, -- Jérôme Nicolle
