1. Number of Updates per RIS Peer per 24 hours
An update is either a withdrawal or an announce in BGP. This measurement also unpacks the BGP message, so that, for example, a withdrawal message that withdraws 3 prefixes counts as 3 "updates". The plot is per RIS peer per day, using a color for each RIS peer. As there are in excess of 150 RIS peers here, the plot has a strong resemlblence to a Jackson Pollock work. There is also a PDF with a larger resolution referenced below the image.

4. Number of Updated Prefixes per RIS Peer per 24 hours
An Updated Prefix is described in one or more announce or withdrawal messages. The number of BGP events per prefix is not plotted here, but the number of prefixes updated per peer is shown.

5. Number of Convergence Events per 24 hours
A convergence event is defined here as a sequence of updates (withdrawals and announces for the same prefix which have been received within 130 seconds of each other.
