Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit in Rust (mrt-rs)

A library for parsing Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit (MRT) formatted streams in Rust.

Examples & Documentation

For examples and documentation look here. If one seeks to ultimately parse BGP messages, mrt-rs can be used together with bgp-rs. Examples on how these two libraries work together are provided there.

Supported types

All MRT record types (including deprecated ones) that are mentioned in RFC6396 are supported except for RIB_GENERIC (sub-type of TABLE_DUMP_V2) and the BGP4MP_ENTRY (sub-type of BGP4MP). It should be noted however that only BGP4MP and TABLE_DUMP_V2 messages currently contain tests. This is due to the fact that I do not have MRT-formatted streams for other protocols.

Supported MRT types:

• NULL
• START,
• DIE,
• I_AM_DEAD,
• PEER_DOWN,
• BGP
• RIP
• IDRP,
• RIPNG
• BGP4PLUS
• BGP4PLUS_01
• OSPFv2
• TABLE_DUMP
• [Tested] TABLE_DUMP_V2
• [Tested] BGP4MP
• [Tested] BGP4MP_ET
• ISIS
• ISIS_ET
• OSPFv3
• OSPFv3_ET

Help needed!

Do you have MRT files for MRT types that are currently not tested? Please let me know so I can add new tests for these types as well. Any bug reports or requests for additional features are always welcome and can be submitted at the Issue Tracker.
