Re: BGP Route Monitoring

[Don Thomas Jacob <don.thomasjacob () gmail com>]

Disclosure - I work for Blue Planet.

Blue Planet, a division of Ciena, has Route Optimization and Analysis, a
product that provides visibility into IP/MPLS networks and IGP/BGP routing.
Its routing alerts include peering state change, prefix state change, path
change, alerts for when number of non-baseline BGP peers are above or below
a threshold, etc. It may have something to cover your use case.

Thanks,
Don
