BGPKITStream Class¶
pybgpkitstream.bgpkitstream.BGPKITStream
¶
Stream and process BGP messages from multiple collectors.
BGPKITStream is a high-performance alternative to PyBGPStream that parses BGP MRT files using BGPKIT. It can stream both historical and live BGP data with support for advanced filtering, multiple parser backends, and memory-efficient lazy loading.

Examples:
Stream historical BGP data:
config = BGPStreamConfig(
start_time=datetime.datetime(2010, 9, 1, 0, 0),
end_time=datetime.datetime(2010, 9, 1, 2, 0),
collectors=["route-views.wide"],
)
stream = BGPKITStream.from_config(config)
for elem in stream:
print(elem)
Direct instantiation with filters:
stream = BGPKITStream(
collectors=["route-views.wide"],
data_type=["update"],
ts_start=1283203200,
ts_end=1283289600,
filters=FilterOptions(origin_asn=64512),
parser_name="bgpkit",
)
for elem in stream:
print(f"{elem.prefix}: {elem.fields['as-path']}")
Live streaming from RIS Live:
config = BGPStreamConfig(
collectors=["rrc00"],
data_types=["updates"],
)
stream = BGPKITStream.from_config(config)
for elem in stream:
print(f"Live: {elem.type} {elem.prefix}")
