README

NOTE: This is not a finished product, but a prototype to test assumptions.

bgp-ping

Connectivity test for a BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) peer.

What is in the repo

Two bgp-ping implementations:

• Monolithic CLI app
• Client/Server interacting through gRPC

Two BIRD routers are integrated in the dev environment for easier testing. They start automatically, if the root bgpping folder is opened in VS Code devcontainer and Docker Desktop is installed.

Monolith

Currently it is a prototype, that pings 10.0.12.11:179 and accepts no parameters. Based on cloverstd/tcping.

Build

go build monolith/bgp-ping.go

Use

./bgp-ping

Sample report (inherited from tcping)
