For this reason, numerous research efforts were devoted to&amp;nbsp;(&lt;em&gt;i&lt;/em&gt;) assessing the (in)completeness of the datasets, (&lt;em&gt;ii&lt;/em&gt;) identifying biases&amp;nbsp;in the dataset, and (&lt;em&gt;iii&lt;/em&gt;) augmenting data quality by optimally placing new&amp;nbsp;collectors. However, those studies focused on techniques to extract information&amp;nbsp;about the AS-level Internet topology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In this paper, we show that considering different metrics influences the&amp;nbsp;conclusions about biases and collector placement. Namely, we compare AS-level&amp;nbsp;topology discovery with \iac inference. We find that the same datasets exhibit&amp;nbsp;significantly diverse biases for these two metrics. For example, the sensitivity&amp;nbsp;to the number and position of collectors is noticeably different. Moreover, for&amp;nbsp;both metrics, the marginal utility of adding a new collector is strongly&amp;nbsp;localized with respect to the proximity of the collector. Our results suggest&amp;nbsp;that the ``optimal'' position for new collectors can only be defined with&amp;nbsp;respect to a specific metric, hence posing a fundamental trade-off for&amp;nbsp;maximizing the utility of extensions to the BGP data collection infrastructure.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brian Trammell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Marco Mellia</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Alessandro Finamore</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stefano Traverso</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tivadar Szemethy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balazs Szabo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D Rossi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Benoit Donnet</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fabrizio Invernizzi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Dimitri Papadimitriou</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mPlane Architecture Speciﬁcation</style></title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">architecture</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">measurement</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">platform</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">scenario</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">use case</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2013</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11/2013</style></date></pub-dates></dates><number><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">D1.3</style></number><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">mPlane Consortium</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Torino</style></pub-location><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Public Deliverable</style></work-type></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>27</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Brian Trammell</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Stephan Neuhaus</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Francesco Matera</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ernst Biersack</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Antonio Barbuzzi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Saverio Niccolini</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mohamed Ahmed</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maurizio Dusi</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tivadar Szemethy</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Balazs Szabo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">P.
