- Its route-table parser lists support for IOS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS, Junos and EOS command output.
Field notes
The route-table parser is described as accepting output from IOS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR, NX-OS, Junos and EOS, then grouping routes by protocol, interface and next hop. The IRR/RPKI workflow expands AS-SETs, validates route objects and emits prefix filters for several vendor families; separate utilities cover bandwidth quote comparisons, log-time conversion and multi-host ping history. The page says several tools work offline, while others connect only to servers the user specifies.
