About bgp.tools
bgp.tools lets you search the internet's routing data by AS number, IP prefix, DNS name or MAC address and browse the results in a readable interface. It includes a looking glass and shows your own connection's ASN, prefix and latency to the service.
Near realtime BGP data and the browsing interface are free. Paid accounts add BGP network monitoring and IRR database and RPKI monitoring, which suits operators who want alerts about their own networks. A changelog is published every few months.
