Route Views

Route Views is a project founded by the Advanced Network Technology Center at the University of Oregon to allow Internet users to view global Border Gateway Protocol routing information from the perspective of other locations around the internet. Originally created to help Internet Service Providers determine how their network prefixes were viewed by others in order to debug and optimize access to their network, Route Views is now used for a range of other purposes including academic research.

Route Views collectors obtain BGP data by directly peering with network operators at Internet exchange points or by multi-hop peering with network operators that aren't colocated at an exchange where Route Views has a collector. The collectors can be queried using telnet. Historical data is stored in MRT format and can be downloaded using HTTP or FTP from archive.routeviews.org.

As of 2023, the Route Views project has collectors at 39 exchange points and more than 1,000 peers.[1][2]
