Our mission is to build the next-gen BGP data collection and analysis tools.

We're a passionate team of researchers, driven by a love of innovation and a frustration with old-school BGP monitoring tools. With bgproutes.io, we are creating a platform that streamlines BGP data sharing for network operators who volunteer their data, while unifying diverse sources of public BGP data into a single, cohesive repository. Leveraging cutting-edge advancements in BGP data compression and AI-driven insights, our platform simplifies and optimizes access to the vast volume of collected BGP data, which has the potential to significantly elevate the quality of BGP analysis and monitoring tools available today.
