Dear all,

I am trying to account for all implicitwithdrawal messages within a certain 
period of time looking at BGP updatemessages collected at rrc, Ripe. 

Implicit Withdrawal Definition:If the sender announces a route to a currently 
reachable address and the newroute is identical to the current route, this is a 
duplicate announcement.Otherwise, the sender is replacing the current route 
with a new route and thisis an implicit withdrawal. (Wanget al. in the 
"Observation and Analysis of BGP iBehavior underStress")

 What I am trying to understand is how do Icount implicit withdrawals? If for 
example, I have 4 BGP messages shown belowthat have same IP address and 
different AS-PATH attribute, how many implicitwithdrawals do I have? Is it 3? 
If I look at consecutive messages that havesame IP address and different 
AS-PATH attribute the result would be 3 (Icompare first to the second, second 
to the third and third to the fourth –assuming they have same IP address and 
different AS-PATH I increment implicitwithdrawals). But I have come across a 
solution that takes a first message andcompares it to the rest of the messages. 
Than second message compares to therest of the messages. And lastly compares 
the third to the fourth. In this casenumber of implicit withdrawals is 6. 
Please advise. 

Thanks for your help.
