wishlist

• UI
• look at it again, update dependcies, framework, etc. refactor
• clean up
• differences in data feeds. Are there diffs?
• exporting the client to a dedicated repo
• make it stream ready / make an enricher
• ardb --> replace by a new redis-interface compliant DB. ask @adulau which one that is
• make the places of the respective databases configurable (example: kvrock's db/ dir, redis's DB on disk). Why? Because I would like to put those on an LVM logical volume, which I may expand if needed.
• make the PROD version dockerized

Thanks for the list. For the replacement, it's kvrocks. I'm using it with hashlookup-server and it's working really well on SSD.

New WiP on https://github.com/D4-project/IPASN-History/commits/dev including the move to kvrocks, OpenAPI interface and UI.

Just a few notes on the wish list (based on the current status in the dev branch):

• UI: there will a a swagger interface, but nothing else, this interface is meant to me used by a tool (such as BGP Ranking)
• huge refactor and cleanup is ongoing as alex said, with deps upgrage, use of flask-restx, requires python 3.8...
• data feeds: there will be differences, bit this has to be investigated (currently, caida and RIPE rrc00 are imported)
• The Python API is a standalone project, and will be on PyPi (https://github.com/D4-project/pyipasnhistory)
• kvrocks replaces ardb

Stream ready/enricher, not sure what you mean, but I'm not sure it is something possible with the current architecture. IPASN HIstory is meant for fast lookup but in order to do that efficiently, we must have a complete view of all the routes as a specific time. If you have BGP table available you want to export in the same format as what RIPE is doing, it is possible to add a module, but just adding updates isn't an option, as the architecture requires to have complete dumps at a specific time. An option is to load dumps every hour, but that will increase the resources needed quite a bit.

v2.0 released, with the relevant python module (https://pypi.org/project/pyipasnhistory/)

installing... :)

[Rafiot]

feel free to update the doc, it's definitely not complete :]

Added some items to the wishlist so that I don't forget them myself :) Will take a look if I manage to send a PR for those.
