From allocated resources to verified global routing.
These free tools cover ASN, IPv6, BGP, RPKI, IRR, and peering. They use public authoritative sources to verify routing state that exists, rather than generating disconnected configuration templates.
Resource and routing discovery
Start here when you need to identify an ASN, inspect a prefix, understand public route visibility, or research a network before configuring a session.
Routing security and registration
Use these checks after publishing a ROA or route object, before asking an upstream to accept a route, and whenever public routing data looks inconsistent.
Frequently asked questions
Do these tools modify RIPE or PeeringDB data?
No. Every tool is read-only and never creates, changes, or removes routing objects.
Why can a result differ from my router?
Results use public RIPE RIS, RIPE Database, and PeeringDB data. Private sessions, local policy, and propagation delay are not fully represented.
What order should I use after receiving an ASN?
Identify the ASN and prefix, create ROAs and route objects, validate them with RPKI and IRR checks, then use consistency and reverse-DNS checks for ongoing review.
