[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.</SPAN></FONT><o:p></o:p></P></DIV>
