I have an application that needs to gather BGP RIB data from the routers that connect to all of our upstream providers. Basically I need to know all the routes available from a particular provider. Currently I'm gathering this data via SNMP. While this works it has its draw backs, it takes approximately 20 minutes per view, its nowhere near real-time, and I'm unable to gather information for IPv6. SNMP, however, is faster than screen scraping. All of the XML based access methods seem to take about the same time as well.
To do that, I've set up a peering session between a router and a Linux running exabgp connected to a script in which I can do any kind of processing I want on BGP updates that are forwarded from the router to exabgp to the script.
