BGP analyzing tool

I don't know of any tool, but it seems like you should be able to get a show
route detail about, write a script to choose inactive reasons and sort based
off that.

Using cli like "sh ip bgp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"[Cisco] or "sh route protocol bgp
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx detail" [Juniper] would be able to show me details for
specific destinations. What i need is a software to get all the data from a
routers routing table, analyze the best path and summarize the reason why
its being chosen based on the BGP algorithm (local pref, no. of hops, MED,
etc). That would show the big picture of why a certain upstream is more
prefered than the other. Thanks.

What kind of router?  A juniper will show you this with a show route detail.

Hi,
   Are there any available BGP analyzing tool that can be used to identify 
details on best chosen path based on the BGP algorithm? NTOP can capture the

traffic info, but to analyze each destination to find the reason for
selection 
(local preference, no of AS hops, iBGP vs eBGP etc) would be hard. I need
this 
info to understand why a certain upstream is being more prefered than the 
others. Thanks.

Regards,
Kana
