ASN Monitor
ASN Live has always been the place to answer “what’s happening this very second?” in your network. Connected to collectors across the globe, it streams BGP updates in real time, letting you see changes as they happen. With this new update, ASN Live becomes even more powerful and interactive.
The highlight of this release is the real-time terminal feed. Every new route announcement is now displayed line by line, showing the prefix, the full AS path, and the collector location where it was first observed. This gives engineers a direct, transparent view into the global propagation of their routes, as if watching the internet’s conversation unfold in real time.

On top of that, you can now pin prefixes directly from either the table or the terminal. Once pinned, a dedicated terminal opens up, focused exclusively on that prefix. This view shows not only live updates for the selected prefix but also a regional breakdown of path distribution, helping you immediately spot propagation patterns.

Each pinned view includes interactive percentage gauges that summarize path distribution. Clicking on a gauge lets you drill down into the exact AS paths behind the numbers, and filter them by ASN for deep troubleshooting. This makes it simple to pivot from high-level trends to low-level details in a couple of clicks.

Another new capability is the option to add prefixes that are not yet announced to your monitoring list in ASN Live. For example, you may configure a more specific prefix before making the actual announcements and then watch in real time as upstreams begin propagating the updates. This allows you to prepare monitoring in advance and confirm propagation the moment the change is activated.

We’ve also introduced a connection monitor at the top of the page. This indicator stays green while all collectors are active and the page is connected, giving you confidence that you’re seeing the full, live picture without needing to second-guess the feed.
Together, these updates make ASN Live the ideal tool for maintenance windows, incident response, and continuous monitoring. Whether you’re confirming new announcements, catching flapping routes in real time, or diagnosing routes that seem “stuck,” ASN Live gives you immediate visibility with global context.
