The BGP Monitor allows network operators and researchers to look at BGP update traffic history to learn more about network faults. The BGP monitor receives a BGP update feed from many sites border routers; thus, we only learn about changes to choices in best routes to a particular prefix.
The monitor supports both live and historical queries. Data is archived into the database a few times per day, so it is not an immediate snapshot of network activity. (We're working on that).
The monitor can output traffic in text and graph formats. We have also provided examples of some interesting queries. People wishing to use the BGP monitor from programs or the command line should look at the XML-RPC interface.
