BGPmon-core version 2.00 ======================== BGPmon-core is a collection of Perl functions that are useful for obtaining and parsing BGPmon XML messages. - Log.pm contains common logging functions that allow one to easily write log messages to syslog, STDERR, or a file. - Configure.pm contains common functions that allow one to easily include command line options and configuration files. - Fetch.pm allows one to easily access XML messages from a live stream, a file, or a web-based archive. - Fetch modules are used by Fetch.pm to handle specific types of data. For example, File.pm fetches data from a file. These modules may be used directly, but the preferred method is to simply use Fetch.pm and it determines the appropriate module to use. - Translator modules translate XML messages into other formats. For exmaple, one can translate the XML into MRT or into ASCII pipe ("|") delimited files. - Filter.pm allows one to easily discover if a BGP message contains IPv4 or IPv6 prefixes, or autonymous system number of interest. The combination of logging, configuration, data access, and data translation should allow the rapid creation of clients that make use of the BGPmon data.
