BGPKIT-Commons is a library for common BGP-related data and functions with a lazy-loading architecture. Each module can be independently enabled via feature flags, allowing for minimal builds.
Load Method: load_asinfo(as2org, population, hegemony, peeringdb) or load_asinfo_cached()
Access Methods: asinfo_get(asn), asinfo_all()
Data Sources: RIPE NCC, CAIDA as2org, APNIC population, IIJ IHR hegemony, PeeringDB
Functionality: AS name resolution, country mapping, organization data, population statistics, hegemony scores
Load Method: load_as2rel()
Access Methods: as2rel_lookup(asn1, asn2)
Data Sources: BGPKIT AS relationship inference
Functionality: Provider-customer, peer-to-peer, and sibling relationships between ASes
Load Method: load_bogons()
Access Methods: bogons_match(input), bogons_match_prefix(prefix), bogons_match_asn(asn), get_bogon_prefixes(), get_bogon_asns()
Data Sources: IANA special registries (IPv4, IPv6, ASN)
Functionality: Detect invalid/reserved IP prefixes and ASNs that shouldn't appear in routing
Load Method: load_countries()
Access Methods: country_by_code(code), country lookup by name
Data Sources: GeoNames geographical database
Functionality: ISO country code to name mapping and geographical information
Load Methods: load_mrt_collectors(), load_mrt_collector_peers()
Access Methods: mrt_collectors_all(), mrt_collector_peers(), mrt_collector_peers_full_feed()
Data Sources: RouteViews and RIPE RIS official APIs
Functionality: BGP collector information, peer details, full-feed vs partial-feed classification
Load Method: load_rpki(optional_date)
Access Methods: rpki_validate(prefix, asn)
Data Sources: RIPE NCC historical data, Cloudflare real-time data
Functionality: Route Origin Authorization (ROA) validation, supports multiple ROAs per prefix
Add bgpkit-commons to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
bgpkit-commons = "0.8"All modules follow the same lazy-loading pattern:
- Create a mutable
BgpkitCommonsinstance - Load the data you need by calling
load_xxx()methods - Access the data using the corresponding
xxx_yyy()methods
use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
// Load bogon data
commons.load_bogons().unwrap();
// Use the data
if let Ok(is_bogon) = commons.bogons_match("23456") {
println!("ASN 23456 is a bogon: {}", is_bogon);
}use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
// Load multiple data sources
commons.load_asinfo(false, false, false, false).unwrap();
commons.load_countries().unwrap();
// Use the data together
if let Ok(Some(asinfo)) = commons.asinfo_get(13335) {
println!("AS13335: {} ({})", asinfo.name, asinfo.country);
}asinfo- AS information with organization and population dataas2rel- AS relationship databogons- Bogon prefix and ASN detectioncountries- Country information lookupmrt_collectors- MRT collector metadatarpki- RPKI validation functionality
all(default) - Enables all modules for backwards compatibility
[dependencies]
bgpkit-commons = { version = "0.8", default-features = false, features = ["bogons", "countries"] }All access methods return Result<T> and will return an error if the corresponding module
hasn't been loaded yet or if there are data validation issues. Error messages include guidance
on which load_xxx() method to call. Always call the appropriate load_xxx() method before accessing data.
All loaded data is kept in memory for fast access. Use the reload() method to refresh
all currently loaded data sources:
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
commons.load_bogons().unwrap();
// Later, reload all loaded data
commons.reload().unwrap();MIT
