BGP Atlas Monitor

The BGP Atlas Monitor (BAM) was developed during the RIPE Atlas Hackathon 2015 in Amsterdam. BAM goals are to display, in real time, informations that are useful for network operators such as prefixes visibility as seen from RIS, or ping delays as seen fron the RIPE Atlas probes.

Currently, you can provide an AS number to BAM. It will retrieve your IPv4 and IPv6 prefixes from RIPE stat, and display their visibilities from RIS. It also shows a map of the probes in your network, as well as a map displaying prefixes visibility from the RIS collectors.

Command line tools are also available in order to manipulating ASes information.

Try it yourself

BAM is packaged to be easily tested using vagrant. On your host, you will only need to install vagrant, ansible and virtualbox.

On Debian, you can install these packages using the following command line: host# apt-get install ansible virtualbox vagrant

Use the following commands to prepare a BAM installation:

host $ vagrant up

host $ vagrant ssh -- -L 2807:localhost:5000

guest$ python bam.py YOUR_ASN

The -r flag could be used to generate random data and trigger BAM visualisations.

Open a browser on your vagrant host to http://localhost:2807

Standalone maps are available at http://localhost:2807/map/collectors and http://localhost:2807/map/probes
