RIPE RIS Live streams the BGP updates that RIPE's route collectors receive, as
|
||||
they happen, from the moment a client connects. It reports changes, not the
|
||||
routing table they add up to, so it cannot say which AS an IP address is routed
|
||||
to now or which routes a prefix has. RouteWatch keeps that table: it applies the
|
||||
feed's updates to live routing tables in its own SQLite database and answers
|
||||
from them, so an IP-to-AS lookup or a prefix page shows the routes as the feed
|
||||
last reported them.

to now or which routes a prefix has. RouteWatch applies the feed's updates to
|
||||
live routing tables in its own SQLite database and answers IP-to-AS lookups and
|
||||
prefix pages from them.
|
||||
|
||||
The feed sends no table when a client connects, so these tables hold only the
|
||||
routes the feed has announced since RouteWatch first started: an IP-to-AS lookup
|
||||
finds nothing for an address whose routes have not been announced since then.
|
||||
The tables also miss the updates RouteWatch drops when it falls behind under
|
||||
load and those sent while it is stopped, so a lookup or a prefix page can show a
|
||||
route the feed has withdrawn.
