bgp.tools March 2025 Changelog

Welcome back to the change log, lets go over the changes that happened between now (March 16th) and the last change log:

Silence alerts for ranges of prefixes

Sometimes you need a break from alerts from a prefix (or a customer may be announcing a prefix under your AS), sometimes that might be a larger block of de-aggregated prefixes.

To solve this, you can now silence a CIDR (with min/max) range of prefixes from getting alerts!

New social media (and bots)

You can now follow bgp.tools on Mastodon/Fediverse on @bgptools@bgp.tools or on Bluesky as @bgp.tools!

On Mastodon/Fediverse there are two bots as well:

Stay tuned for more bots!

New IXPs (100 IXPs!)

bgp.tools is now accepting feed sessions on the following exchanges:

  • DO-IX
  • BNIX
  • IXP.MK
  • NIX.CZ (After being down for a long time)
  • NIX.SK

This brings bgp.tools AS212232 to 100 internet exchanges!

Sadly FNC-IX has shut down, and so sessions and infrastructure for that IX have been removed.

  4. Individual NTP Pool Name servers are no longer considered internet critical anymore, as there are many of them
  5. Improved Performance on RPKI based operations
  6. Fixed bug where invalid RPKI routes would not always display the ROAs responsible for the invalid result
  7. Fixed issue where the packets sent to detect anycast were not always well formed to ICMP standards
  8. Improved performance of the site when under large load
  9. Fix various AS-SET parsing issues when presented with mixed casing
