The Route Server Prefix Analysis tool is something that we have implemented at INEX that our members love. It allows our members to examine what routes they are advertising to the route servers, which are being accepted and which are being rejected.

It is fully documented here with a member facing screenshot. Note that it will only work as currently implemented on Bird route servers.

This tool has been live at INEX now for over a year and we delayed publishing it as there a number of (documented) caveats that we hoped to fix. There's nothing bad - the tool works very well - we just wanted to tidy it. But, as some time has passed, we have decided to publish as is and perhaps revert and tidy later.

Other changes in this release include:

  • [IM] Disable this be default as it requires some work to configure (8705144 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
  • [NF] Add route server prefix analysis tool script (5ea1bcc - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
  • [IM] Limit switch list to active switches only (3a917f0 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-17)
  • [BF] Catch linked objects on deletion and issue a readable error message - fixes #140 (aac11dd - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-14)
  • [IM] more debugging info when receiving nlris on route server when NH != peer addr (af4c487 - Nick Hilliard - 2014-03-08)
  • [IM] Do not arbitrarily restrict password length (87f2637 - Barry O'Donovan - 2014-03-07)
