PeerCortex Changelog
All notable changes to PeerCortex are documented here.
v0.6.6 — 2026-04-02
Added
- Route Server (RS) column in IX table: Every IX connection now shows whether the network participates in that IXP's route server, directly in the IX Presence table.
- Contacts & Registration card: Shows Points of Contact (name, role, email) from PeeringDB along with registration date, last-modified, and RIR handle from RDAP. Named individuals with public emails are flagged as potential B2B leads.
- Data Sources Timing Panel: New card showing the response time of every API source queried during the lookup — with colour-coded bars (green < 500 ms, orange < 2 s, red = slow/failed).
- Raw JSON Export: Added "⬇ Raw JSON" link in the network overview. Downloads the full lookup result as a formatted JSON file.
- HQ City in overview: The network's registered city (from PeeringDB) now appears next to the country flag in the network overview header.
v0.6.4 — 2026-04-02
Fixed
- IRR Audit: Switched data source to NLNOG IRR Explorer, which covers all major IRR databases (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, RPKI-to-IRR). Now shows a per-prefix breakdown with IRR source, RPKI validation status, and an overall assessment badge. Previously showed 0% for correctly registered ASNs.
- Service reliability: Improved automatic recovery from unexpected process crashes — all services now restart automatically without manual intervention.
v0.6.3 — 2026-04-02
Added
- Tooltips on all cards: Hover over any section header to see a plain-language explanation of what data it shows and where it comes from.
v0.6.2 — 2026-04-01
Fixed
- AS-PATH Visualizer: Now shows real BGP path data via RIPE RIS looking-glass. Previously showed no data due to an unavailable data endpoint.
- Routing History: Replaced broken endpoint with RIPE Stat
routing-history— shows a prefix table with first/last seen dates for all announced prefixes. - IXP Member List: Replaced single-IX display with a full IXP picker. All IXPs where the AS is a member appear as buttons; click any to load its member list. Previously only showed one IXP.
- Sources of Trust card: Moved to the end of the dashboard as intended.
v0.6.1 — 2026-04-01
Fixed
- New feature cards (BGP Community Decoder, IRR Audit, Routing History, AS-PATH Visualizer, Looking Glass, Hijack Monitor, IXP Member List) now load automatically after every ASN lookup.
- Feedback terminal redesigned to match the PeerCortex editorial style — no more green-on-black terminal aesthetic.
- Share button replaced with icon-only dropdown (X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Copy Link).
- Button overlap in bottom-right corner resolved.
v0.6.0 — 2026-04-01
Added
- BGP Community Decoder — Decodes BGP community values with a built-in database covering RFC-standard, major transit carriers, and IXP communities.
- IRR Audit — Compares IRR route objects against actual BGP announcements, shows coverage percentage and per-prefix status.
- AS-SET Expander — Recursively expands AS-SETs (up to 4 levels), lists all member ASNs.
- Routing History — Shows prefix announcement history over the past 90 days.
- AS-PATH Visualizer — Visual hop-by-hop AS path diagram from multiple vantage points, origin AS highlighted.
- Looking Glass — RIPE RIS looking glass for arbitrary prefixes, aggregates paths from up to 15 route collectors.
- BGP Hijack Monitor — Subscribe any ASN for prefix monitoring; checks every 30 minutes and stores alerts.
- IXP Member List — Loads PeeringDB member list for any IXP where the queried ASN is present.
- Share Link — One-click copy of a direct link to any ASN lookup; URL parameter auto-triggers lookup on page load.
- Dark Mode — Toggle between light and dark theme, preference saved across sessions.
- Changelog page — Full version history accessible via the navigation bar.
- Unique visitor counter — Displays privacy-safe UV count in the footer (IP hashing, no raw addresses stored).
- Feedback form — Submit feedback directly from the dashboard; responses delivered by email.
v0.5.0 — 2026-03-26
Added
- RPKI-based ASPA detection via Cloudflare RPKI JSON feed — 1,500+ ASPA objects, refreshed every 10 minutes.
- RFC-compliant ASPA path verification (draft-ietf-sidrops-aspa-verification-14) — upstream/downstream verification, valley detection, AS_SET flagging, per-hop status.
- ASPA Readiness Score (0–100) across four dimensions: ROA coverage, ASPA object presence, provider match completeness, path validation rate.
- Provider Audit — compares RPKI-declared providers vs BGP-detected providers, highlights gaps.
- Network Health Report — 13 automated checks with traffic-light scoring (Bogon, RPKI ROA, Blocklist, IRR, MANRS, BGP Visibility, Reverse DNS, Abuse Contact, Resource Cert, IX Route Servers, BGP Communities, Geolocation, IRR Object).
- RIPE Atlas probe integration — total probes, connected/disconnected counts, anchors per ASN.
- bgproutes.io integration — 3,000+ vantage points, RIB queries, ROV and ASPA status.
- Network Compare — side-by-side comparison of two ASNs (common IXPs, shared upstreams, overlapping facilities).
- Recent Lookups with quick-click history badges.
Fixed
- ASPA objects not detected — switched from broken RIPE DB remarks search to Cloudflare RPKI JSON feed.
- Various frontend rendering bugs.

- Network Compare tool.
- Live at peercortex.org.
