cn-routefeed: China Routefeed

cn-routefeed is a BGP speaker that feeds all China IPv4 delegations to peer. The delegation information is fetched from APNIC (from http://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-latest). cn-routefeed might be useful if you are trying to set up special routing for IPv4 routes that are based in China.

If APNIC changed the URL of delegation information file in the future, you could change that URL on line 5 of fetcher.cc.

Installation

cn-routefeed need the following build dependencies:

  • g++ (or any other c++ compiler)
  • libbgp
  • libcurl
  • cmake (optional)

For libbgp, please follow the installation instruction on the project page. For other build dependencies, you can install them on a Debian-based Linux distribution with the following apt command:

# apt install g++ libcurl4-nss-dev cmake

Once you have the dependencies installed, use the following commands to build routefeed:

$ git clone https://github.com/nat-lab/cn-routefeed
$ cd cn-routefeed
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make

Or, if you are not into the cmake kind of thing, you can build the project with:

$ g++ *.cc -lbgp -lcurl -lpthread -oroutefeed 

It should work on most of the cases.

Usage

cn-routefeed is a simple tool. The command-line help is pretty self-explanatory:

usage: routefeed [-l HOST] [-p PORT] [-t INTERVAL] -a ASN -i BGP_ID -n NEXTHOP
                 [-c CONFIG] [-v]

cn-routefeed is a BGP speaker that feeds all China IPv4 delegations to peer. 
Delegation information is fetch from APNIC.

required arguments:
  -a ASN       Local ASN of the BGP speaker.
  -i BGP_ID    BGP ID (Router ID) of the BGP speaker.
  -n NEXTHOP   Nexthop to use when sending routes.

optional arguments:
  -l HOST      IP address to bind the BGP speaker on. (default: 0.0.0.0)
  -p PORT      TCP port number to bind the BGP speaker on. (default: 179)
  -t INTERVAL  Time in second to wait between fetching update from APNIC.
               (default: 86400)
  -c CONFIG    Read command line arguments from file.
  -v           Enable debug mode (verbose).

For example, you can start a feeder with the following command:

# routefeed -a 65000 -i 172.16.0.1 -n 172.16.0.1

This command starts a BGP speaker on 0.0.0.0:179, with ASN 65000. It accepts peer with any ASN and will feed the peer with routes using 172.16.0.1 as nexthop.
