I'd advise to first compare with:

- https://bgp.tools/ - https://bgproutes.io/ - https://bgp.he.net/ - https://radar.qrator.net/ - https://github.com/nttgin/BGPalerter

...all of which are (usually) free. IMHO you should have a competing product + money strategy before you continue. Many people have tried (and failed) to make money off BGP.

BTW, author of https://bgpipe.org/ here, an open-source BGP data tool

Awesome - exactly the feedback I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Just out of curiosity, why did you use Go for bgpipe and Python?

[pjf]

One reason is there already was exabgp, written in Python, which in my experience is slow and resource hungry. Golang is much faster, easily portable, and produces static binaries (easy to deploy).

Another thing is bgpipe speaks JSON to background (or even remote) packet processors, so basically you can use whatever language you want with it to drive your BGP routers.
