Sounds to me like a: you are only looking at best routes or b: one of the providers is sending you more specific customer routes (that they summarize before sending to non-customers).

Personally I would just slurp one set of routes into an array in perl and then delete them if they appear in the other set. Any left over in either set are unique....

Subject: Determine difference between 2 BGP feeds


Hi,

We receive a BGP feed from different providers on two
different routers. While one seems to be a reasonable amount
of feeds after reviewing the CIDR report, the other is anywhere
from 3K to 10K more routes.

Is there a utility that I can use that will pull the
routes off each router (Foundry preferred), and then compare
them as best it can to see why there is such a difference?
I can understand a handful of routes over what CIDR says,
but a minimum of 3K more?

Thanks, Tuc/TBOH
