It looks like a pig! Totally unintended I swear.
The red dot represents my AS on DN42, AS4242421926. Peer with me here!
- I'm bored.
- I need a new wallpaper.
- I want to make my desktop geekier with some Data Visualization (tm).
- I have a full BGP feed of DN42.
And then, I discovered the amazing BGP tool known as ExaBGP, and everything came together.
Assuming you have a machine running ExaBGP and Redis, use the following configuration to fill the Redis database with all routes coming from neighbors:
process dn42wp {
run /where/is/exabgp-process.py;
encoder json;
}
neighbor x.x.x.x {
# Your peer configuration here
api {
processes [ dn42wp ];
receive {
parsed;
update;
}
}
}
Then, run generate-json.py to generate a JSON containing all peerings.
Save it as data.json and serve it in the same directory of the page.
But there is already https://nixnodes.net/dn42/graph!
It's not particularly suitable as a wallpaper, and I don't get to play with the cool toys myself.
By the way, have you heard of the IKEA effect?
Hacked together in a couple of hours, with all sorts of terrible code and quirks. My scripts do not inject any route, but if you believe in Illuminati, filter all routes on your router.
- ExaBGP, for hours of fun playing with routing information programmatically.
- Edmundo Santos, for his awesome CSS background that I kanged here shamelessly.
