I really like netvty!  Great tool.

Not one specific tool, but I often use various large SP looking
glasses to determine what their routing tables look like when
necessary.

RIPE Atlas is another cool project that has also yet to be mentioned.

Cloudflare's RPKI tools may also be of use.

Re: favorite network troubleshooting tools (online)

[Scott Weeks]

>> what are your favorite network troubleshooting tools?

I thought I'd add a little data to my first response:



To watch the network in real time with syslog, which puts 
messages in /var/log/router.log:

tail -f /var/log/router.log | egrep -vi 
'terms|I|do|not|want|to|see|SyncConfigOK|SaveConfigSucceeded|LogFile|etcetera|etcetera'




To look for a problems on router1:

grep -i router1 /var/log/router.log | egrep -vi 'terms|I|do|not|want|to|see' | 
less


scott

ps. it's free.  no cost.  low learning curve.  easy and fast.

Re: favorite network troubleshooting tools (online)

[Todd Dressel]

I’ve been using netVTY for a while (https://netvty.com).  Its an ssh client
that recognizes addresses and prefixes appearing in the output from your
network devices and translates them on the fly.  There’s a bit of work
upfront to build a database from your device configs, but once that’s done
it makes life much easier.
