Dear all,
We recently released an alpha version of Link-Rank 1.0
tool.
Summary: Link-Rank works by weighing AS-AS links from each
BGP router
by the number of BGP routes carried, and visualizes routing
events as
changes in AS-AS link weights. Red edges represent loss of
routes
while green edges represent gain of routes. The tool can
currently
visualize data starting from January 1, 2007 from
RouteViews' Oregon
collector, with a time lag of 1-2 hours.
The tool can be downloaded from
http://sou
rceforge.net/projects/link-rank/
More information about the Link-Rank project can be found on
the website
http://linkrank.cs.ucla.
edu/
The new version has various improvements over existing
version including
1. Better handling of very large routing events.
2. Ability to save and load graphs. Some sample events are
included
in the "Examples" directory.
3. Near real-time continuous visualization (This feature is
being
tested and will be available in the beta release soon).
4. Redesigned GUI based on feedback from previous release.
We expect to move to beta release in a few weeks and would
really
appreciate any bug reports or feature requests. The full
source code
of the tool will be available with the beta release. We will
also be
releasing a set of scripts and instructions to be able to
use the
tool with your own BGP data.
We hope you find this tool useful. Feel free to send us an
email at
linkrankhelp-at-cs-dot-ucla-dot-edu
Thanks
Link-Rank team
