yet another irrtoolset replacement, 1.0
I released version 1.0 of my routers configuration generator. It can generate the complete BGP configuration (neighbor statements, route maps, prefix and as-path lists) of peering or customer-facing routers using RPSL data, a local configuration file and a configuration template based on the popular Template::Toolkit perl package. Currently I only provide an IOS configuration template, but it should be easy to write one for JUNOS (patches are welcome!). I know that it's being used in production by several ISPs in the RIPE and APNIC region, so if you are not satisfacted by irrtoolset I think it's worth some consideration. It can be downloaded from http://www.linux.it/~md/software/rpsltool-1.0.tgz and is free software released under the terms of the GPL. (I think that I advertised it enough, so future releases will be announced on the project mailing list.) Major changes since the last public release: Modularized and cleaned up the code. Added the routesdiff program (formerly part of my cisco-tools package), to show which routes are actually not being accepted from a peer. Added the testpeerfilter program, to test the effect of a filter on a peer without actually loading it on the router. Added the nagpeer program, to automatically generate reports of bugs in the RPSL objects published by a peer. Added the rpslexpand, to quickly perform RPSL expansion from the command line. Added the findextraobjs program, useful to identify obsolete entries in peers configuration files. Added documentation. -- ciao, Marco
