RouteViews is a project founded by theAdvanced Network Technology Center at theUniversity of Oregon to allow Internet users to view globalBorder Gateway Protocol routing information from the perspective of other locations around the internet. Originally created to help Internet Service Providers determine how their network prefixes were viewed by others in order to debug and optimize access to their network, RouteViews is now used for a range of other purposes including academic research.
RouteViews collectors obtain BGP data by directlypeering with network operators atInternet exchange points or by multi-hop peering with network operators that aren't colocated at an exchange where RouteViews has a collector. The collectors can be queried usingtelnet. Historical data is stored in MRT format and can be downloaded usingHTTP orFTP from archive.routeviews.org.
As of 2023, the RouteViews project has collectors at 39 exchange points and more than 1,000 peers.[1][2]
