BIRD-LG
=======

Overview
--------

This is a looking glass for the Internet Routing Daemon "Bird".

Software is split in two parts:

 - lgproxy.py:

   It must be installed and started on all bird nodes. It act as a proxy to make traceroute and bird query on the node.
   Access restriction to this web service can be done in file "lgproxy.cfg". Two access restriction methods can be configured:
   based on source IP address or based on a shared secret. Both methods can be used at the same time.

 - lg.py:

   This is the frontend, a web based UI that request informations to all lgproxy.py nodes.
   The domain and the list of all bird nodes can be done.

Installation
------------

The web service (lg.py) depends on:

 - python-flask  >= 0.8
 - python-dnspython
 - python-pydot
 - graphviz
 - whois

The proxy running on routers (lgproxy.py) depends on:

 - python-flask  >= 0.8
 - traceroute
 - ping

Each service can be embedded in any webserver by following regular python-flask configuration.
It is also possible to run the services directly with python for developping / testing:

    python2 lg.py
    python2 lgproxy.py

Systemd unit files are provided in the `init/` subdirectory.

-------------

On your routers, copy `lgproxy.cfg.example` to `lgproxy.cfg` and edit the values.

On the web host, copy `lg.cfg.example` to `lg.cfg` and edit the values.
