The invention of BGP has really interesting history. Its ancestor is BGPlay designed and written by the Computer Networks Research Group at Roma Tre University. BGPlay is a Java application which displays animated graphs of the routing activity of a certain prefix within a specified time interval. Its graphical nature makes it much easier to understand how BGP updates affect the routing of a specific prefix than by analyzing the updates themselves. To get more details, visit origin website.
Inbound traffic was reduced in particular time frame.
BGP route table is frequently changed.
BGP was bouncing while TCP connection was okay.
Someone reports reachability issue
Let’s see how to use it. Click below “Start BGPlay” icon.
It brings new popped up window. Put a prefix and date to see BGP route activity in that time frame.
Once another window is popped up and click play button. Then finally you can see BGP route path changes in time frame.
