this takes too long :-)

even when the json blob is loaded in the browser, the sheer size of it seems to cause issues when rendering the table: https://lg.coloclue.net/birdseye/app/routeservers/0/protocols/peer_AS3257_0/routes is not working, this is a peer with "accepted: 167114, rejected: 14682"

This peer serves for an interesting benchmark. I will think of a few ways to make this faster.

Just as a heads-up: I will open a birdwatcher issue, because the service performance is better addressed there. As for the frontend being unable to render it, I will see what I can do to reducre the footprint of the React components.

Plenty of other big peers to compare with! https://lg.coloclue.net/birdseye/app/routeservers/0

[hellerve]

Thanks a lot, that's a great use case.

@hellerve if you want access to the routers so you can do real time debugging of components like birdwatcher or birdseye that is no issue, just mail me job@instituut.net

[hellerve]

Thanks, I'll probably need that tomorrow. For now I'm going to enjoy the evening. Thanks for all of your bug reports and feature requests today, much appreciated!

was this done?

[hellerve]

It is currently in a feature branch awaiting review. I will ping the reviewer.

[annikahannig]

I reviewed and merged it.
I'll have to patch the python backend though to support the gzipped result.

I'll keep you all posted :)
