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.

apt-get install python-memcache python-flask python-pydot python-dnspython libapache2-mod-wsgi

bird-lg depends on :

• python-flask >= 0.8
• python-dnspython
• python-pydot

Each services can be embedded in any webserver by following regular python-flask configuration.

You should copy the configuration files (lgproxy.cfg.example to lgproxy.cfg and lg.cfg.example to lg.cfg) and edit them.

Should work with most Bird versions (from 1.2.x, tested up to 1.4.5).
