DESCRIPTION:Route-server looking glasses already provide valuable visibilit
 y into routing at Internet Exchange Points (IXPs). They typically collect 
 data either by querying route-server software directly\, as Alice Looking 
 Glass does\, or through dedicated BGP monitoring sessions. These tools hel
 p operators and participants inspect advertised prefixes\, troubleshoot co
 nnectivity\, and better understand route-server behavior.\n\nIn this prese
 ntation\, we explore BMP as a complementary approach to monitoring BGP at 
 IXPs. BMP can expose routes before and after policy application\, includin
 g routes that are filtered or not selected as best paths\, while also repo
 rting peer and session state. BIRD and FRRouting can export BMP data when 
 operating as route servers\, although their current implementations have l
 imitations and do not expose every standardized BMP view.\n\nWe then prese
 nt the new bgproutes.io IXP Explorer. By combining BMP data from route ser
 vers with routing data contributed by IXP participants\, it provides near-
 real-time and historical visibility into routes learned over both route-se
 rver and bilateral BGP sessions. The platform enriches these data with RPK
 I route-origin validation (ROV) and ASPA validation results. The data are 
 openly accessible through the IXP Explorer dashboard and the bgproutes.io 
 public API\, enabling both interactive exploration and programmatic analys
 is.
