BGPMON

BGPmon is a next generation tool that monitors BGP routing information in real-time. It is focused on detailed monitoring of routing events. Its services became publicly available in 2008 and were quickly adopted by thousands of users worldwide and are used by internet service providers, governments, security providers, and researchers. BGPmon allows its users assess the routing health of their network, providing them with information which allows them to determine the stability of their networks and potential risks to their data. It monitors the routing of their prefixes and alerts them in case of an 'interesting' path change. Recently, a U.S. Congressional Report brought attention to the hijacking of data, a report which quoted BGPmon resources. BGPmon was launched in 2008.
