New description:

 Yixin's data description:

 [http://raptor.princeton.edu/tor_metrics/  data&spec]

 * Data (06/2016 - 08/2017):
   We put each month's BGP updates into a single txt file, compressed with
 `xz -9e` into [year]-[month]-updates.txt.xz. These are the files under
 all-updates/.
   The all-updates.tar is basically a tarball of the all-updates/
 directory.

 * Description and spec (counter-raptor.html):
   This is the html file that we put up. Starting with the <h1> tag
 following the https://metrics.torproject.org/metrics-lib.html page.

 * Software (detection.py):
   This is our script to analyze the data (also linked in the html page).

 ====

 Next steps (semi-random order):

 * find a place for the data, i.e., a path on CollecTor
 * determine a data update process
 * integrate html description into Metrics' site
