mrtparse ########

Introduction

| mrtparse is a module to read and analyze the MRT format data. | The MRT format can be used to export routing protocol messages, state changes, and routing information base contents, and is defined in RFC6396_. | Programs like FRRouting_, Quagga_, Zebra_, BIRD_, OpenBGPD_ and PyRT_ can dump the MRT format data. | You can also download archives from the Route Views Projects, RIPE NCC.

Installation

::

$ pip install mrtparse

or

::

$ git clone https://github.com/t2mune/mrtparse.git
$ cd mrtparse
$ python setup.py install

Usage

First, import the module.

::

from mrtparse import *

or

::

import mrtparse

| And pass a MRT format data as a filepath string or file object to a class Reader(). | It is also supported gzip and bzip2 format. | You can retrieve each entry from the returned object using a loop and then process it. |

::

for entry in Reader(f):
    # Parsed data is stored in "entry.data"
    <statements>

We have prepared some example scripts and sample data in "examples"_ and "samples"_ directory.
