    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring service availability using distributed Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing feeds are disclosed. In some embodiments, monitoring service availability using distributed BGP routing feeds includes collecting BGP routing data from a plurality of distributed route monitors; aggregating the collected BGP routing data into bins; and determining a BGP metric based on the aggregated and collected BGP routing data. Example BGP metrics include a reachability metric, number of path changes metric, and a number of BGP updates metric.
