Hi Folks, We're looking at ways to monitor our L3 control Plane at the Routing level. So essentially monitoring our IGP (EIGRP/OSPF)/ BGP and being able to track the routing updates that propagate through the Network laying the forwarding path.
This is needed to keep an eye on the control plane at a lower level and identify any unexpected changes in the routing paths due to a maintenance or due to topology instabilities caused by link failures and flaps that may go unnoticed due to large Rotuing tables. The expectation is to be able to proactively monitor routing and identify issues like Assymetric Routing and routing loops before the Apps and end users start suffering. Arbor does a great job in identifying BGP instabilities but nothing for IGP. Route analytics is potentially another tool that offers routing monitoring but we haven't used it and not sure what to expect. Any feedback on what people use for the above in their prod networks would be appreciated.
