Introducing ASN Weekly Report

We’re excited to introduce Weekly Report, a brand-new area inside ASN Monitor that brings a different perspective on your Autonomous Systems. While features like ASN Live allow you to follow events as they happen in real time, Weekly Report takes a step back and builds a clear, periodic summary of what really changed in your network over time.

You now get a curated view that compares today’s status with the recent past. This makes it easier to answer questions like: Did I lose or gain peers? Which upstreams were added or removed? Were there any hijacks? Has my RPKI coverage improved or declined? Weekly Report organizes these answers into a set of intuitive cards, refreshed daily.

The first card, Highlights, focuses on the three most important variations in the most recent period. If nothing significant happened, the card tells you that your ASN remained stable. But if there were meaningful shifts — a new upstream, a sudden loss of peers, or a critical flapping — the highlights will surface them front and center, so you can focus on what matters.

Two additional cards break down connectivity for IPv4 and IPv6 independently. They track changes in upstreams, downstreams, peers, and prefixes announced, showing when something new appeared, when something was lost, and when instability was detected.

Flapping is captured explicitly, letting you see when relationships are bouncing in and out of visibility. And for any variation, you can click the side arrow to expand and inspect the full list of changes.

Security and trust are just as important as connectivity. That’s why Weekly Report also includes a BGP Security Incidents card, highlighting if any hijacks of your prefixes were detected during the period. A counter shows how many incidents occurred, and when present, a drill-down allows you to review the affected prefixes directly.

Complementing this, the BGP Integrity card brings visibility into IRR coverage and RPKI validation, comparing the number of announced prefixes with those that are validated — a simple but powerful way to assess the robustness of your routing configuration.

Weekly Report isn’t just another dashboard. It’s designed to act as a managerial summary: something you can consult to understand the health and evolution of your ASN at a glance, but also something you can share with customers, upstreams, and partners to discuss stability, performance, and security. In this way, it becomes both a monitoring tool and a communication tool — helping position your ASN as a reliable, trustworthy network in the global routing ecosystem.

And for those who prefer to receive this report directly in their inbox, the Weekly Report can also be delivered by email. Simply adjust the notification settings of the desired ASN, setting the aggregation to weekly. The report will then arrive automatically, ready to be reviewed or shared.

ASN Live – Now with Real-Time Terminal & Prefix Pinning

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.

Alert for Multiple RPKI/IRR Records

We’ve improved the ASN Monitor to make resource validation more transparent.
From now on, if a prefix has multiple RPKI or IRR records and at least one of them is inconsistent, the system will display a yellow warning icon in the Resources area.

This means you’ll still see valid records as before, but you’ll also be alerted whenever conflicting or invalid records are present — helping you quickly identify and resolve potential issues.

Example: it’s common for a prefix to have more than one IRR entry. However, if one of these entries is tied to an AS that is not the rightful owner, the ASN Monitor will highlight the inconsistency even if a valid record exists.

In the screenshot above, the orange IRR entry indicates that although there are valid IRR records for the prefix, one of them points to a different origin, making it inconsistent. On the right side, the red RPKI entry highlights a similar situation: a record exists for the prefix, but it originates from an ASN that is not the rightful owner. These visual indicators make it easier to spot and act on conflicting information, even when at least one valid record is present.
