mrt_ingester

High-performance parser for MRT (Multi-threaded Routing Toolkit) routing data files.

Overview

This library parses MRT-formatted binary streams containing BGP routing information, as specified in RFC 6396 and RFC 8050.

Features

• Full support for all MRT record types defined in RFC 6396
• BGP Add-Path extensions (RFC 8050)
• Zero-copy design where possible
• API-compatible with the original mrt-rs crate

Supported Record Types

Usage

use std::fs::File;
use std::io::BufReader;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    let file = File::open("updates.mrt")?;
    let mut reader = BufReader::new(file);

    while let Some((header, record)) = mrt_ingester::read(&mut reader)? {
        println!("Timestamp: {}, Type: {}", header.timestamp, header.record_type);

        match record {
            mrt_ingester::Record::BGP4MP(bgp4mp) => {
                // Handle BGP4MP record
            }
            mrt_ingester::Record::TABLE_DUMP_V2(table_dump) => {
                // Handle TABLE_DUMP_V2 record
            }
            _ => {}
        }
    }

    Ok(())
}
