Hash: SHA1

Dear All,

The Roma Tre University Computer Networks Research Group and the RIPE
NCC are pleased to announce BGPlay, a new beta tool to visualize BGP
updates in the RIS database. Its animated, interactive graphical
display makes it easier to interpret how BGP updates affect the
routing of a specific prefix than by analyzing the updates
themselves. For an idea of what BGPlay can do, see the interactive
screenshot at: http://www.ris.ripe.net/bgplay/help.shtml. 

BGPlay was developed by the Computer Networks Research Group at Roma
Tre University and is hosted by the RIPE NCC, who provide direct
access to the RIS database.
