This paper presents two new properties of BGP routes. First, it
shows that the frequency of autonomous systems (ASs) appearing in
path vectors follow a Power-Law relationship. Secondly, it shows
that path lengths can be characterized accurately by stable
distributions. The main implication of these properties is that it
allows the creation of realistic forwarding tables for simulation
studies. Moreover, they extend previous works that have thus far
only shown Power-Law relationships exhibited by ASs degree.
