**We are happy to announce that the first version of the micro BGP suite has now been released!**
|
|
|

|
## The Micro BGP Suite is now available
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am thrilled to announce that the very first version of the
|
|
|
|
|
DoubleFourteen inaugural project, the Micro BGP suite (*µbgpsuite* for short
|
|
|
|
|
-- or *ubgpsuite* for differently Greek keyboards ☺), is now available!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Source code for this project is available at:
|
|
|
|
|
[https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite](https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Micro BGP Suite is an evolution over *bgpscanner*, originally developed under the
|
|
|
|
|
Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the Italian National Research Council,
|
|
|
|
|
see the forever unknown
|
|
|
|
|
[HISTORY](https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite/src/branch/master/doc/HISTORY.md)
|
|
|
|
|
file included with the project documentation for more obscurities about this
|
|
|
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Micro BGP suite includes:
|
|
|
|
|
- [lonetix](https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite/src/branch/master/lonetix),
|
|
|
|
|
a performance oriented static library for BGP and MRT data encoding/decoding written in C.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd like to send a special thanks to my friend [Vernal Liu](https://covernal.github.io)
|
|
|
|
|
for coming up with a name for this library (though, it originally meant
|
|
|
|
|
*Lorenzo's Network library on Posix*), and for his saint-like patience in listening to
|
|
|
|
|
my ramblings all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
- [bgpgrep](https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite/src/branch/master/tools/bgpgrep),
|
|
|
|
|
the very first utility using *lonetix*, an advanced replacement for *bgpscanner*,
|
|
|
|
|
an utility capable of lightning fast MRT dump decoding and filtering. This utility
|
|
|
|
|
is documented in its glorious `man` [page](https://git.doublefourteen.io/bgp/ubgpsuite/src/branch/master/tools/bgpgrep/bgpgrep.1.in).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`bgpgrep` is the first utility taking advantage of `lonetix`, but more tools
|
|
|
|
|
are underway to demonstrate the capabilities of its API.
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|
Stay tuned for more news on this project, as I'm currently working on an article
|
|
|
|
|
describing the BGP filtering engine exposed by `lonetix`.

Enjoy, and happy hacking,
