µbgpsuite -- Micro BGP Suite and Utility library
Introduction
µbgpsuite
, the Micro BGP Suite and Utility library, is a project
aiming to provide a low level library and utilities for
high-performance and flexible network analysis, with special
focus on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
The purpose of this suite is establishing a friendly environment
for research and experimentation of useful data study
techniques to improve network health.
lonetix -- Low-overhead Networking programming Interface
The project is centered around lonetix
, a low overhead and
low level networking library written in C.
It provides a set of general functionality to implement the suite utilities.
lonetix
principles are:
- efficiency:
lonetix
has to be fast and versatile; - predictability: data structures and functions should be predictable and reflect the actual protocol, abstraction should not degenerate into alienation;
- zero copy and zero overhead: be friendly to your target CPU and cache,
you never know just how fast or poweful the target platform will be,
ideally
lonetix
should be capable of performing useful work on embedded systems as well as full fledged power systems alike; - lean: try to be self-contained and only introduce dependencies when strictly necessary.
Extensive documentation of lonetix
and its API is available.
Utilities
lonetix
is the building block of bgpgrep
, this far our single
utility -- but more of them are coming, right?
bgpgrep
performs fast and reliable analysis of MRT dumps
collected by most Route Collecting projects. It takes a different
turn compared to most similar tools, in that it provides extensive
filtering utilities, in order to extrapolate only relevant data
out of each MRT dump (and incidentally save quite some time).
In-depth documentation of bgpgrep
is available in its man page.
