routefilterd

routerfilterd is a tool to generate filters for use in BGP routing. It consumes RPSL feeds from IRR databases and allows to query the data via HTTP.

⚠️ The project is still under heavy development. Production use is not recommended. ⚠️

The tool is written in Rust and performance optimized. There is no database - all state is held in Memory. Data population is fast enough to perform a full ingest on startup. On my laptop it takes less than 30 seconds to ingest over 6 Gb of IRR data. The typical request to recurse a medium-sized AS-SET takes less than 5 ms to return.

Advantages

• Small project scope
• Extremely fast
• Low system requirements
• No persistent state
