The bgp.tools March 2025 Changelog is out! bgp.tools/kb/march-202..., This month changes include: * Silence alerts for ranges of prefixes * bgp.tools is now on 100 IX Points! * New social media (and bots) and (as always) many other small fixes! Find all of them here: bgp.tools/kb/march-202...

to screenshots of some mastodon posts, one of them is an ip transfers pose that shows nokia transferring two /16's to microsoft, the other post shows a new RIPE ASN being created

New IXPs (100 IXPs!)

bgp.tools is now accepting feed sessions on the following exchanges:

DO-IX
BNIX
IXP.MK
NIX.CZ (After being down for a long time)
NIX.SK

This brings bgp.tools AS212232 to 100 internet exchanges!

Sadly FNC-IX has shut down, and so sessions and infrastructure for that IX have been removed.
Small stuff

Improved the handling of AS Number inputs on Firefox
Detect PPOE/MAC-Telnet/NETBIOS/PIMv6/VRRP/DHCPv6/OSPFv3/IS-IS/ES-IS on IX LANs
IX peer latency is now measured over 5 different pings to better deal with control plane latency
Individual NTP Pool Name servers are no longer considered internet critical anymore, as there are many of them
Improved Performance on RPKI based operations
Fixed bug where invalid RPKI routes would not always display the ROAs responsible for the invalid result
Fixed issue where the packets sent to detect anycast were not always well formed to ICMP standards
Improved performance of the site when under large load
Fix various AS-SET parsing issues when presented with mixed casing
Actively track the whois for ASs visible in the table, but who don’t originate prefixes

New feature: You can now view all available tags for a ASN at: bgp.tools/tags/

A bgp.tools page showing "all tags" and a table with the tag on the right, and then a description, then the number of ASNs with that tag

After sitting on the decision for quite a while, bgp.tools will be switching away from posting updates on X. Users can follow this account, or the fedi account @bgptools@bgp.tools instead
