BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol on the Internet. A system used to determine the shortest route for Internet data to travel from one network to another, useful for troubleshooting connectivity problems, etc. The main role of BGP is to exchange reachability information with other BGP systems and to guide traffic efficiently. Routes are constantly being announced or removed around the world. BGP was never designed with security in mind, making it a very fragile protocol and prone to route leaks and hijacking. Therefore, BGP monitoring is very important in providing stable digital services. SpeedData's BGP monitoring uses Catchpoint's system, which is used by technology companies such as Google and Microsoft, as well as many European and American e-commerce operators, enterprises, and telecommunications companies such as Verizon. Spelldata will continue to expand its digital experience monitoring services to support the high-speed and stable operation of digital services. In 2012, RPKI (Resource Public Key Infrastructure) that can discover Mis-Origination (wrong route information in BGP router) was specified as RFC6480 (technical specification). In Japan, 7 out of 20 companies that have received a large number of IP addresses from JPNIC's (Japan Network Information Center) RPKI trial offer have started using them, 44.6% for IPv4 and 57.2 for IPv6. % and the coverage rate is still about half (*). Overseas, according to a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) survey, 72.40% of routes are uncovered as of February 16, 2021. A failure of BGP makes it fundamentally impossible to provide services over the Internet. In recent years, service outages due to BGP failures have increased, and visualization through BGP monitoring is the key to achieving stable system operation. When a system is deployed on the cloud, monitoring the routing of the network of the cloud service and monitoring the quality separately from the monitoring provided by the vendor are required to comply with the provisions of Article 526 of the Commercial Code. It is also important for acceptance inspection.
