cn-routefeed: China Routefeed
---

`cn-routefeed` is a BGP speaker that feeds peer all China IPv4 delegations. The delegation information is fetched from APNIC (from <http://ftp.apnic.net/apnic/stats/apnic/delegated-apnic-latest>). `cn-routefeed` might be useful if you are trying to set up special routing for IPv4 routes that are based in China.

If APNIC changed the URL of delegation information file in the future, you could change that URL on line 5 of `fetcher.cc`.

### Installation

`cn-routefeed` need the following build dependencies:

- g++
- [libbgp](https://github.com/Nat-Lab/libbgp)
- libcurl
- cmake (optional)

For libbgp, please follow the installation instruction on the [project page](https://github.com/Nat-Lab/libbgp). For other build dependencies, you can install them on a Debian-based Linux distribution with the following `apt` command:

```
# apt install g++ libcurl4-nss-dev cmake
```

Once you have the dependencies installed, use the following commands to build `routefeed`:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/nat-lab/cn-routefeed
$ cd cn-routefeed
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ../
$ make
```

Or, if you are not into the `cmake` kind of thing, you can build the project with:

```
$ g++ -lbgp -lcurl -lpthread *.cc -oroutefeed
```

It should work on most of the cases.

### Usage

`cn-routefeed` is a simple tool. The command-line help is pretty self-explanatory:

```
usage: routefeed [-l HOST] [-p PORT] [-t INTERVAL] -a ASN -i BGP_ID -n NEXTHOP
