Title: "Some analysis of the use of ASPP for ISP load balancing"

Abstract: By analyzing public BGP routing tables, we show some statistics
          of ISP multi-homing, and the use of AS Path Pre-pending in
          inbound traffic engineering (load balancing).  We then study
          the effect of individual ISP load balancing actions on global
          network optimality and stability.  We will discuss the problem
          formulation and some preliminary observations.
