- Hovering (or focusing) a byte segment opens a popup that decodes it: header fields, the two length fields, and each path attribute with its flags spelled out and its value in readable form. AS_PATH shows segment type, ASNs, path length and ASN width; COMMUNITIES shows well-known names; LARGE_COMMUNITIES shows the SwissIX meaning of known values; MP_REACH/UNREACH show address family, next hop and prefixes; NLRI and withdrawn routes list prefixes. Decoding happens on hover from the bytes themselves. /api/routes/local/wire gains four_octet_asn so the AS_PATH width is known. - The page is now a snapshot by default. ?refresh=<seconds> (1..3600) turns on reloading of all tables at that interval and connects the event log; the header offers 2s / 5s / 30s, "turn off" and "reload now". Events only feed the log, so the tables never change faster than asked. The reader's own announce / withdraw still shows its effect at once. - Removed the "tables refresh on every event" footer text.

BGP
The bgp crate is an implementation of the Border Gateway Protocol, which is used to exchange routing and control plane information between Autonomous Systms.
The aim of this project is to provide a modern, high performance, secure and programatic and customizable software package that can be useful to network operators, researchers, and people interested in Internet.
Current status.
The project is currently being rewritten from scratch to be more modular and maintainable, as well as to fix deeper issues with the previous implementation.
⚠️ Warning: This is currently a work in progress and not ready for use.
🛣️ Roadmap to v1.0
We aim for the 1.0 release to be functional and stable to operate peering sessions, and to install routes in the Linux Kernel.
- ☐ Implement basic parsers for the fundamental types required
- ✅ Path Attributes from RFC4271
- ✅ Open message
- ✅ Capabilities from RFC4271
- ✅ Update message
- ☐ Notification message
- ✅ Implement scaffolding required to start and configure a server
- ✅ Implement connection logic to establish sessions with peers (passive and active)
- ✅ Locally originated routes with communities, announced to all peers
- ✅ HTTP API, live status page and Prometheus metrics
- ☐ Implement an efficient data structure for storing prefixes (e.g. Poptrie)
- ☐ Filtering for peer RIB in / out
- ☐ Main / auxillary RIBs for exchanging routes between peers
