I don't know of any tool, but it seems like you should be able to get a show route detail about, write a script to choose inactive reasons and sort based off that.

What i need is a software to get all the data from a routers routing table, analyze the best path and summarize the reason why its being chosen based on the BGP algorithm (local pref, no. of hops, MED, etc). That would show the big picture of why a certain upstream is more prefered than the other. Thanks.

NTOP can capture the traffic info, but to analyze each destination to find the reason for selection (local preference, no of AS hops, iBGP vs eBGP etc) would be hard. I need this info to understand why a certain upstream is being more prefered than the others. Thanks. Regards, Kana
