Abstract

We describe Prex, a tool for analyzing MPLS networks leveraging an automata theoretic approach. While we base our approach on previous works, we extend their approaches in a multitude of ways. We introduce a method of constructing queries based on regular expressions which permits the user to write highly complex queries, and implement a method of verifying these queries on the networks. We benchmark our tool and compare it with another recognized tool. We perform a case study on a large scale in production MPLS network, and use our tool verify certain interesting properties in their network.
