The public data shared by BGP route collection platforms such as RIPE RIS and RouteViews is essential for our community. It enables operators and researchers to monitor the global Internet and powers many tools, including BGP hijack detectors and looking glasses.

In this talk, we will introduce bgproutes.io, a new BGP data collection platform, highlight how it differs from other collection platforms and explain how the community can use the data or the analytic dashboards. Then, we will explain the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP), describe how it works, and share our early (but insightful) experience deploying BMP within bgproutes.io. We will show how BMP enables us to collect more data and raise the quality of the dataset available to the community.
