BGPpeers

BGPpeers is a web-based tool designed to help network administrators monitor and analyze their Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) peering sessions. BGP is a critical routing protocol used on the internet to exchange routing and reachability information between autonomous systems. Maintaining stable and efficient BGP peering is essential for internet connectivity.

The tool provides a centralized dashboard where users can view the status of their BGP neighbors. It collects data on various metrics such as session up/down times, received prefixes, and advertised prefixes. This information allows administrators to quickly identify potential issues with their BGP connections. For instance, a sudden drop in received prefixes might indicate a problem with a peer's advertisement or a network outage.

BGPpeers also offers historical data analysis capabilities. Users can track trends in their BGP session stability and prefix counts over time. This historical perspective can be valuable for troubleshooting recurring problems, understanding network growth, and capacity planning. Furthermore, the platform often includes features for setting up alerts, notifying administrators when BGP sessions go down or when significant changes in prefix counts are detected. This proactive approach enables faster response to network disruptions. The primary goal of BGPpeers is to simplify the complex task of BGP peering management, enhancing network reliability and performance for its users.
