BIRD-LG

This is a looking glass for the Internet Routing Daemon "Bird".

Software is split in two parts:

• lgproxy.py:

  It must be installed and started on all bird nodes. It act as a proxy to make traceroute and bird query on the node. Access restriction to this web service can be done in file "lgproxy.cfg" (only IP address based restriction for now).

• lg.py:

  This is the frontend, a web based UI that request informations to all lgproxy.py nodes. The domain and the list of all bird nodes can be done.
