RE: Visualizing BGP paths
I use BGPLay for showing our connected status, but it doesn't let me put in a source IP/AS and a destination IP/AS. BGPlay is very helpful though.

At least in Debian and Ubuntu Linux there is a traceroute utility that gives path ASN's. It is ironically called traceroute-nanog. If I do a `traceroute-nanog -AO $destination` I get all the ASN info. -- ----------------- Brian Raaen Network Engineer email: /braaen@zcorum.com/ <mailto:braaen@zcorum.com> Dylan Ebner wrote:
