Platform Capabilities

What BGPScout Does

Routing intelligence tools built for ISPs, data centres, IXPs, and network operators.

Visualization

Internet Route Heatmap

See how traffic flows between cities and countries on an interactive 3D globe. Colored arcs reveal the most-used paths and hidden detours.

Detection

Boomerang Route Detection

Automated traceroutes reveal when domestic traffic unnecessarily crosses foreign borders. Hard evidence of missing local peering.

Analysis

IXP & Peering Intelligence

Map 500+ Internet Exchange Points worldwide. See who peers where, which networks are missing, and where peering gaps exist.

Mapping

IP Density Heatmaps

Visualize the geographic density of any network's IP space on an interactive map. Understand regional footprint at a glance.

Tools

Network Comparison

Side-by-side comparison of ASNs - prefixes, facilities, IXPs, traffic levels, routing quality, boomerang rates, and more.

Discovery

ASN & Network Search

Deep data on 70,000+ ASNs. Registry info, PeeringDB presence, IXP memberships, facility footprint, contacts, and growth history.

The Problem We Solve

Your Domestic Traffic Is Taking International Detours

Across the world, internet traffic between two cities in the same country often routes through a foreign country - adding latency, cost, and data sovereignty risk. BGPScout detects these "boomerang routes" automatically.

Minneapolis

Toronto (CA)

Ashburn

Minneapolis → Ashburn never left the United States on paper, but the packets went through Canada.

Measured in your country, in 177 of our traceroutes.

For AI Assistants

Ask ChatGPT or Claude about any network

BGPScout runs an MCP server — 90 tools your AI assistant can call directly. Ask a routing question in plain language and get a real answer, not a search result.

"What is 8.8.8.8?"

8.8.8.0/24, announced by AS15169 (Google LLC).
Mountain View, California, US. Allocated by ARIN 2023-12-28.
RPKI: Valid.

Or go the other way — "what address space does AS577 have in Toronto?" returns the actual CIDRs, not a count.

Built For

Who Uses BGPScout?

ISPs & Carriers

Identify peering gaps, monitor boomerang traffic, and understand how your network routes compared to competitors.

Data Centre Operators

Find networks that lack local facility presence and are routing traffic sub-optimally through your region. Your next customers.

Internet Exchange Points

See which networks in your region are not yet members. Understand who peers at competing IXPs but not at yours.

Network Engineers

Deep dive into routing paths, ASN relationships, RPKI compliance, IPv6 adoption, and transit provider analysis.
