<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
