RE: BGP analyzing tool

[Jon Lyons <jlyons30 () yahoo com>]

I use the FCP from internap...Optomizes the BGP routes and produces nice graphs/reports that I never look at... :)

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.

    Using cli like "sh ip bgp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"[Cisco] or "sh route protocol bgp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx detail" [Juniper] would 
be able to show me details for specific destinations. 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.

  What kind of router?  A juniper will show you this with a show route detail.

 Hi,
    Are there any available BGP analyzing tool that can be used to identify 
 details on best chosen path based on the BGP algorithm? 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
