bgpframe 0.2.0

High-performance Rust + Python toolkit for parsing BGP MRT data into Parquet and querying prefixes/AS paths.

bgpframe

English documentation. Korean version: docs/README.ko.md

A Rust-based MRT (BGP) parsing + Parquet processing library. You can build and use it directly from Python with maturin, and write concise prefix containment queries with Polars expressions.

Key Highlights

• Fast parsing: converts MRT to Parquet using bgpkit-parser + Rust implementation.
• Memory reuse: reduces allocation/copy overhead with batch buffer swap during flush.
• Rust scan filter: parquet_filter_updates for fast direct filtering/writing on large Parquet files.
• Python-friendly API: prefix/IP containment + BGP-specific filters (announce, origin, as_path).
• Typed API: includes .pyi stubs (_core.pyi, polars_utils.pyi, __init__.pyi).

Installation

Install from PyPI:

pip install bgpframe

If you use the Polars helper expressions:

pip install "bgpframe[polars]"

Using uv:

uv add bgpframe
# or
uv add "bgpframe[polars]"

Requirements

• Rust stable toolchain
• Python 3.12+
• uv
• maturin

Development Build

uv venv
source .venv/bin/activate
uv pip install maturin
maturin develop
python -c "import bgpframe; print(bgpframe.hello())"

Run without activating the virtual environment:

uv run -- maturin develop
uv run python -c "import bgpframe; print(bgpframe.hello())"

Examples

1) MRT -> Parquet

import bgpframe

bgpframe.mrt_to_parquet(
    "https://data.ris.ripe.net/rrc00/latest-update.gz",
    "rrc00_latest.parquet",
    limit=200_000,      # optional
    batch_size=100_000, # optional
)

2) Prefix containment query (IPv4/IPv6)

import bgpframe
import polars as pl

df = pl.read_parquet("rrc00_latest.parquet")
res = df.filter(bgpframe.contains_prefix_expr("8.8.8.8"))
print(res.head())

3) Filter large Parquet and write output

import bgpframe

matched = bgpframe.parquet_contains_ip(
    "rrc00_latest.parquet",
    "2001:4860:4860::8888",
    output="rrc00_latest_match_google_dns_v6.parquet",
    limit=100_000,  # optional
)
print("matched rows:", matched)

4) Combined BGP convenience filters

import bgpframe
import polars as pl

df = pl.read_parquet("rrc00_latest.parquet")

# announce + origin AS 15169 + AS_PATH includes 3356 + path length 2..5
res = bgpframe.filter_bgp_updates(
    df,
    elem_type="announce",
    origin_asn=15169,
    as_path_contains=3356,
    min_as_path_len=2,
    max_as_path_len=5,
)

# exact prefix match (host bits are normalized with strict=False behavior)
exact = df.filter(bgpframe.prefix_exact_expr("2001:4860:4860::8888/32"))

5) Rust high-speed scan filter (file -> file)

import bgpframe

matched = bgpframe.parquet_filter_updates(
    "rrc00_latest.parquet",
    output="rrc00_latest_updates_filtered.parquet",
    contains_ip="8.8.8.8",
    elem_type="announce",
    origin_asn=15169,
    as_path_contains=3356,
    min_as_path_len=2,
    max_as_path_len=8,
    limit=50_000,
)
print("matched rows:", matched)

The same code is available at example/parquet_filter_updates.py.

Recommended Query Patterns for BGP Data

• Split event types: announce_expr(), withdraw_expr()
• Analyze route origin: origin_asn_expr(asn)
• Track transit/upstream ASN: as_path_contains_expr(asn)
• Find policy/risk signals: as_path_len_between_expr(min_len=..., max_len=...)
• Exact prefix comparisons: prefix_exact_expr("x.x.x.x/len")
• Apply combined filters once: filter_bgp_updates(...)
• Direct Parquet processing: parquet_filter_updates(...)

CI/CD and PyPI Publishing

• CI workflow: .github/workflows/ci.yml
  • Trigger: push to main, pull requests
  • Runs: Rust tests, Python regression tests, doctest, type checks
• Automated release workflow: .github/workflows/release-please.yml
  • Trigger: push to main (or manual dispatch)
  • Creates/updates a Release PR, updates versions (pyproject.toml, Cargo.toml), and publishes a GitHub Release
• Release workflow: .github/workflows/publish-pypi.yml
  • Trigger: GitHub Release (published/released) or manual dispatch
  • Builds: wheels (ubuntu/macos/windows) + sdist
  • Publishes: PyPI via Trusted Publishing (OIDC)

Required setup for PyPI release

1. Configure a PyPI Trusted Publisher for this project.
2. In PyPI Trusted Publisher settings, use:
   • Owner: taeyun16
   • Repository: bgpframe
   • Workflow filename: publish-pypi.yml
   • Environment name: pypi
3. In GitHub, create environment pypi (Settings -> Environments).
4. Create a GitHub Release (for example tag v0.1.0) to trigger publish.

With Trusted Publishing, you do not need a long-lived PYPI_API_TOKEN secret.

Automatic release flow

1. Merge commits into main (use Conventional Commit prefixes like feat:, fix:, docs:).
2. release-please opens/updates a Release PR with version/changelog changes.
3. Merge the Release PR.
4. release-please creates a GitHub Release.
5. publish-pypi.yml runs and uploads artifacts to PyPI.
