+The product is called [[http://bgpmon.netsec.colostate.edu/][BGPmon]].  There's XFB, an [[http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cheng-grow-bgp-xml-00][XML format]] for BGP
+messages and control information, a.k.a. XFB.
+
+There are two scripts in tumleren.pilsnet.sunet.se:~frank called
+client_dom.pl and client_sax.pl.  They've been modified by Frank.
+
+There's a version 6.1 of the BGPmon sw announced on their website but
+one needs userid & pw to get at it.  I've contacted He Yan ([[gnus:nnimap%2Bimap.nordu.net:INBOX.sent-mail.2009-06#52][Email from
+Linus Nordberg: BGPmon version]]) about that.  <2009-06-22 Mon 22:23>
+Turns out that what they mailed Frank was actually 6.1, which is what
+we're running.
+
+The program (bpgmon) must be run as root since it uses source port 179
+for the BGP session with se-tug.  I had to fix a syntax error in the
+config file found in Franks home directory which looked like it
+should've read
+
+                <LABEL_ACTION>1</LABEL_ACTION>
+
+so now it does.
+
+* TODO
+** Store in SQL db
+The data is basically what's in a BGP packet.
+
+Primary key should be the prefix.
+
+We should store everything.  We should be able to do this in a single
+table.
+
+* Running postgresql
+To start the server
+
+    sudo sudo -u postgres /opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/postgres -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb
+or
+    sudo -i -u postgres
+    /opt/local/lib/postgresql83/bin/pg_ctl -D /opt/local/var/db/postgresql83/defaultdb -l logfile start
