- Leaflet map: double requestAnimationFrame after display:none removal
ensures container has real dimensions before L.map() init
- PeeringDB org cache: 24h disk cache (.pdb-org-cache.json) prevents
hammering PeeringDB API on server restarts (was causing 175 restarts)
- Check HTTP status before JSON.parse on PDB responses
- Leaflet.js (CDN) with CartoDB Dark Matter tiles matching Tokyo Night theme
- Cyan markers: facility/datacenter locations with name + city popup
- Orange markers: IX presence with IX name + speed popup
- Purple connecting lines between facilities in the same country
- Coordinates from PeeringDB facility API (batch lookup, chunked)
- IX locations via ixfac association + facility geocoding
- Auto-fit bounds, graceful degradation if no coordinates
- Collapsible card, XSS-safe popups via DOM API
- RPKI cross-check: Cloudflare RPKI feed + RIPE NCC Validator API (5 sample prefixes)
- Prefix cross-check: RIPE Stat vs bgp.he.net count comparison
- Neighbour cross-check: RIPE Stat vs bgp.he.net peer data
- Data Quality badge in dashboard (High/Medium/Low confidence)
- Hover tooltip: "Data Quality Report" with per-source agreement breakdown
- Added BETA tag to site header and version string (v0.5.0-beta)
- All UI text in English
RPKI Validation:
- Validate ALL prefixes (not sample of 10) using local Cloudflare RPKI feed
- Covers all 5 RIRs globally (RIPE, APNIC, ARIN, LACNIC, AFRINIC)
- Indexed ROA lookup (O(bucket) not O(824K)) for instant validation
- AS4739 now correctly shows 446/446 prefixes checked
ASPA Provider Detection:
- Only RIPE Stat "left" neighbours (verified upstreams) used as providers
- AS-path analysis used for frequency confirmation only, not as provider source
- Fixes false provider detection that included peers alongside upstreams
Multi-RIR Support:
- WHOIS/IRR queries all 5 RIR databases via RDAP in parallel
- RPSL validation checks RIPE + APNIC/ARIN/LACNIC/AFRINIC
- AS4739 (APNIC) now correctly found via rdap.apnic.net
Geolocation:
- Anycast/CDN networks (5+ facility countries or Content/NSP type) not flagged
- Only small networks with geo anomalies get warnings
Route Server Scoring:
- Networks with 20+ IX connections and no RS scored as "pass" (bilateral policy)
- Only small networks without RS get warnings
Error Handling:
- ASPA endpoints gracefully handle timeouts (show fallback instead of HTML parse error)
- Frontend checks Content-Type before JSON.parse
Reported by Philip Smith, Richard Steenbergen, Jared Mauch, Chris Malayter
- Bug 1: Facilities returned ALL 59k PeeringDB entries (missing net_id filter)
- Bug 2: Neighbours returned 0 for large ASNs (8s timeout, now 30s)
- Bug 3: Visibility showed 0% when API times out (now shows -1 = unavailable)
- Bug 4: Prefixes returned 0 for small ASNs (cascading fetch failure)
- Bug 5: RPKI inconsistency documented (different sample sets per endpoint)
- Bug 6: Atlas probe status showed 0 connected (status.name vs status_name)
Also: PDB IX/Fac queries now use net_id (phase 0 + parallel phase 1)
Also: Compare endpoint uses net_id for facilities
- Replace static screenshot images with links to live demo at peercortex.org
- Add "What's New in v0.5.0" section with all new features
- Add ASPA Verification section (draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification compliance)
- Add Cloudflare RPKI JSON feed and Route Views to Data Sources table
- Update tool count from 25+ to 34 MCP tools, 12 REST API endpoints
- Bump version from 0.1.0 to 0.5.0 in package.json
- Compare: all API calls in single parallel batch (was sequential)
- Compare: RPKI sample reduced to 3+3 prefixes with 5s timeout cap
- Compare: response caching (5min TTL)
- Compare: AS name resolution parallel with 3s timeout
- Result: Compare from timeout (>20s) to ~5s first call, <1s cached
- Add response caching (5min TTL for lookups, 10min for ASPA)
- Add 8s timeout to all external API fetches
- RPKI validation: sample max 10 prefixes (5 v4 + 5 v6) instead of 50
- Run all PeeringDB + RIPE Stat calls in single parallel batch
- Resolve AS names in parallel with 3s timeout cap
- Add deploy/ directory with production server.js + index.html dashboard
- Landing page: Tokyo Night dark theme, interactive ASN search
- 15 API endpoints: lookup, aspa, aspa/verify, bgproutes, validate,
compare, peers/find, prefix/detail, ix/detail, topology, whois, health
- Features: RPKI per-prefix, RIPE Atlas probes, Network Health Report,
ASPA RFC verification engine, Provider Relationship Graph
- Query RIPE Atlas API for probes in the looked-up ASN
- Display probe count, connected/disconnected status, anchors
- Expandable probe detail table with links to atlas.ripe.net
- Connection ratio progress bar
- "Host a probe?" prompt for networks without Atlas presence
