BGPKIT-Commons is a library for common BGP-related data and functions with a lazy-loading architecture. Each module can be independently enabled via feature flags, allowing for minimal builds.
Load Methods: load_asinfo(as2org, population, hegemony, peeringdb), load_asinfo_cached(), or load_asinfo_with(builder)
Access Methods: asinfo_get(asn), asinfo_all(), asinfo_are_siblings(asn1, asn2)
Data Sources: RIPE NCC, CAIDA as2org, APNIC population, IIJ IHR hegemony, PeeringDB
Functionality: AS name resolution, country mapping, organization data, population statistics, hegemony scores, sibling detection
New in v0.10.0: The as2org-rs and peeringdb-rs crates have been consolidated into this module.
Use AsInfoBuilder for ergonomic configuration of data sources.
Load Method: load_as2rel()
Access Methods: as2rel_lookup(asn1, asn2)
Data Sources: BGPKIT AS relationship inference
Functionality: Provider-customer, peer-to-peer, and sibling relationships between ASes
Load Method: load_bogons()
Access Methods: bogons_match(input), bogons_match_prefix(prefix), bogons_match_asn(asn), get_bogon_prefixes(), get_bogon_asns()
Data Sources: IANA special registries (IPv4, IPv6, ASN)
Functionality: Detect invalid/reserved IP prefixes and ASNs that shouldn't appear in routing
Load Method: load_countries()
Access Methods: country_by_code(code), country_by_code3(code), country_by_name(name), country_all()
Data Sources: GeoNames geographical database
Functionality: ISO country code to name mapping and geographical information
Load Methods: load_mrt_collectors(), load_mrt_collector_peers()
Access Methods: mrt_collectors_all(), mrt_collectors_by_name(name), mrt_collectors_by_country(country), mrt_collector_peers_all(), mrt_collector_peers_full_feed()
Data Sources: RouteViews and RIPE RIS official APIs
Functionality: BGP collector information, peer details, full-feed vs partial-feed classification
Load Methods: load_rpki(optional_date), load_rpki_historical(date, source), load_rpki_from_files(urls, source, date)
Access Methods: rpki_validate(asn, prefix), rpki_validate_check_expiry(asn, prefix, timestamp), rpki_lookup_by_prefix(prefix)
Data Sources: Cloudflare real-time, RIPE NCC historical, RPKIviews historical
Functionality: Route Origin Authorization (ROA) and ASPA validation, supports multiple data sources
New in v0.10.0: Added RPKIviews as a historical RPKI data source with multiple collectors.
New public types Roa and Aspa provide stable API for RPKI objects.
Add bgpkit-commons to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
bgpkit-commons = "0.10"All modules follow the same lazy-loading pattern:
- Create a mutable
BgpkitCommonsinstance - Load the data you need by calling
load_xxx()methods - Access the data using the corresponding
xxx_yyy()methods
use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
// Load bogon data
commons.load_bogons().unwrap();
// Use the data
if let Ok(is_bogon) = commons.bogons_match("23456") {
println!("ASN 23456 is a bogon: {}", is_bogon);
}use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
// Load multiple data sources
commons.load_asinfo(false, false, false, false).unwrap();
commons.load_countries().unwrap();
// Use the data together
if let Ok(Some(asinfo)) = commons.asinfo_get(13335) {
println!("AS13335: {} ({})", asinfo.name, asinfo.country);
}The builder pattern provides a clearer API for loading AS information:
use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
// Clear, self-documenting configuration
let builder = commons.asinfo_builder()
.with_as2org()
.with_peeringdb();
commons.load_asinfo_with(builder).unwrap();
// Check if two ASes are siblings (requires as2org data)
if let Ok(are_siblings) = commons.asinfo_are_siblings(13335, 132892) {
println!("AS13335 and AS132892 are siblings: {}", are_siblings);
}Load RPKI data from multiple historical sources:
use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
use bgpkit_commons::rpki::{HistoricalRpkiSource, RpkiViewsCollector};
use chrono::NaiveDate;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
let date = NaiveDate::from_ymd_opt(2024, 1, 4).unwrap();
// Load from RIPE NCC historical archives
commons.load_rpki_historical(date, HistoricalRpkiSource::Ripe).unwrap();
// Or load from RPKIviews collectors
let source = HistoricalRpkiSource::RpkiViews(RpkiViewsCollector::KerfuffleNet);
commons.load_rpki_historical(date, source).unwrap();
// List available files for a date
let files = commons.list_rpki_files(date, HistoricalRpkiSource::Ripe).unwrap();asinfo- AS information with organization and population data (includes integrated as2org and peeringdb)as2rel- AS relationship databogons- Bogon prefix and ASN detectioncountries- Country information lookupmrt_collectors- MRT collector metadatarpki- RPKI validation functionality (ROA and ASPA)
all(default) - Enables all modules for backwards compatibility
[dependencies]
bgpkit-commons = { version = "0.10", default-features = false, features = ["bogons", "countries"] }All modules support both central access via BgpkitCommons and direct module access:
// Via BgpkitCommons (recommended for most use cases)
use bgpkit_commons::BgpkitCommons;
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
commons.load_bogons().unwrap();
// Direct module access (useful for standalone usage)
use bgpkit_commons::bogons::Bogons;
let bogons = Bogons::new().unwrap();All access methods return Result<T> and will return an error if the corresponding module
hasn't been loaded yet or if there are data validation issues. Error messages include guidance
on which load_xxx() method to call. Always call the appropriate load_xxx() method before accessing data.
All loaded data is kept in memory for fast access. Use the reload() method to refresh
all currently loaded data sources:
let mut commons = BgpkitCommons::new();
commons.load_bogons().unwrap();
// Later, reload all loaded data
commons.reload().unwrap();- RPKIviews Historical Data: Load historical RPKI data from RPKIviews collectors (SoborostNet, MassarsNet, AttnJp, KerfuffleNet) in addition to RIPE NCC archives
- Crate Consolidation:
as2org-rsandpeeringdb-rsfunctionality integrated directly into theasinfomodule - AsInfoBuilder: New builder pattern for ergonomic configuration of AS information data sources
- Public RPKI Types: New stable
RoaandAspastructs for RPKI objects - Streaming Optimization: RPKIviews archives are streamed efficiently without downloading entire files
- RIPE Historical JSON: RIPE historical data now uses JSON format for richer data including expiry timestamps
