[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/jmaslak/Perl6-Net-BGP.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/jmaslak/Perl6-Net-BGP) NAME ==== Net::BGP - BGP Server Support SYNOPSIS ======== use Net::BGP my $bgp = Net::BGP.new( port => 179 ); # Create a server object DESCRIPTION =========== This provides framework to support the BGP protocol within a Perl6 application. This is a pre-release of the final version, and as such the interface may change. The best way of seeing how this module works is to look at `bin/bgpmon.pl6` and examining it. If you are interested in using this module, and have any suggestions at all, please let me know! ATTRIBUTES ========== port ---- The port attribute defaults to 179 (the IETF assigned port default), but can be set to any value between 0 and 65535. It can also be set to Nil, meaning that it will be an ephimeral port that will be set once the listener is started. server-channel -------------- Returns the channel communicate to command the BGP server process. This will not be defined until `listen()` is executed. It is intended that user code will send messages to the BGP server. user-channel ------------ Returns the channel communicate for the BGP server process to communicate to user code. METHODS ======= listen ------ $bgp.listen(); Starts BGP listener, on the port provided in the port attribute. For a given instance of the BGP class, only one listener can be active at any point in time. add-peer -------- $bgp.add-peer(:peer-ip("192.0.2.1"), :peer-port(179), :peer-asn(65001)); Add a new peer to the BGP server. PATRONS ======= Mythic Beasts, a managed and unmanaged VPS, dedicated server, web and email hosting company (among many other services) generously donated the use of a VPS host with IPv4 and IPv6 BGP feeds for the development of this module.
