Audit BGP routing policies, trace Autonomous System (AS) paths, check peering relationships, and validate prefix propagation.
Internet Routing Registry (IRR), PeeringDB, RIPE RIS, RouteViews, Cisco, Juniper, Nokia, Huawei
Autonomous System Number (e.g. AS2914 or 2914) or specific IP prefix/address (e.g. 8.8.8.8)
Always secure BGP route announcements using Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) certificates.
Maintain an up-to-date peering profile on PeeringDB to coordinate interconnection options.
Troubleshooting network reachability or routing leaks across the global internet.
Tracing AS paths to identify prepending or sub-optimal routing hops.
Auditing peering connectivity profiles of transit providers for redundancy validation.
RPKI status: Valid indicates the route origin is cryptographically verified. Invalid routes are dropped by major ISPs.
Looking Glasses allow querying global tables from separate continents.
BGP Routing & Peering Architecture
Use this explorer to debug packet loss or latency spikes across public peers, verify new route server announcements, trace DDoS mitigation redirections, or validate routing redundancy.
What is an Autonomous System (AS)?
An AS is a collection of IP networks managed by a single administrative entity (like an ISP or corporation) with a unified routing policy. Each AS is identified by a unique Autonomous System Number (ASN).
How does AS Path Prepending work?
What is the difference between BGP Peering and Transit?
Transit is a paid service where an upstream provider gives you access to the entire internet. Peering is the direct interconnection of two networks to exchange traffic, usually for free at an IXP, and only for their respective customers.
Why is RPKI important for my network?
RPKI prevents BGP hijacking by verifying that an AS is authorized to announce a specific IP prefix. It ensures that traffic intended for your network isn't diverted to a malicious actor.
How can I find the owner of a specific ASN?
Simply enter the ASN into our BGP Explorer. We query global registries (like ARIN, RIPE, APNIC) to provide the organization's name, registry details, and contact information.
A looking glass is a server that allows public users to view the BGP routing table from the perspective of a specific router. It is used to verify route propagation and troubleshoot connectivity from external vantage points.
An AS is a collection of IP networks managed by a single administrative entity (like an ISP or corporation) with a unified routing policy. Each AS is identified by a unique Autonomous System Number (ASN).
It involves adding one's own ASN multiple times to the AS_PATH attribute of a BGP route. This makes the path look longer and less desirable to other routers, effectively steering traffic toward alternative, shorter paths.
