- RIS Raw Data
-
This page links to the raw data collected by the RRCs using Quagga routing software, stored in MRT format. This format is described in an IETF draft. These files can be read using libbgpdump, a library written in C by Dan Ardelean, currently maintained by the RIPE NCC. A Python library also exists, PyBGPdump which provides access to MRT files via Python.
