Hi Hesham, I'm Thomas Holterbach, one of the authors of the paper you mentioned. We're glad that you found our work useful and highlighted it here.
We're still working on our new BGP route collection platform and would appreciate any suggestions from the IETF Routing Area Working Group that could help make the platform successful and valuable for the community in the long run. If you liked the paper and think it would be worth presenting at an upcoming IETF meeting, you can support our nomination for the Applied Networking Research Prize (https://www.irtf.org/anrp/). Finally, while the platform is still in its prototype stage, you can already start peering with us and contribute BGP data at bgproutes.io. Adding new peers will also help give the project more momentum. Thanks for your support.
