BGP AS Path Lookup

BGP AS Path Lookup priorities

Check the BGP AS path for any IPv6 prefix using RIPE RIS route collector data.

Path Visualization

Path Visualization priorities

Visualize AS hops on a 3D graph and explore unique ASNs across all observed paths.

IPv6 Tunnel Broker Overview

Network context and request workflow

The SOLAR queries RIPE RIS (Routing Information Service) route collectors to show the BGP AS paths observed for a given IPv6 prefix. Each path shows the sequence of autonomous systems that the prefix traverses from the collector perspective.

Results include all unique AS paths found, enriched with ASN names from the RIPE Stat name database. You can browse individual paths, explore the full set of unique ASNs, and visualize the AS graph in an interactive 3D viewer.

This tool is useful for understanding Internet routing, debugging prefix announcements, and learning how BGP paths differ across route collectors and peers.

6Project keeps IPv6 access approachable while encouraging responsible network operations.

1. Explore IPv6 basics, global PoPs, policies, and current service health.
2. Choose a tunnel method and a suitable location for latency and routing quality.
3. Submit accurate technical details so the tunnel can be reviewed and provisioned.

IPv6 connectivity should be practical, observable, and useful for real learning. 6Project network operations
