Netom documentation

Netom is a programmable BGP and BMP engine maintained by FastNetMon. Connect routing data sources, keep routes in an in-memory RIB, inspect them through the CLI or HTTP API, and stream updates to other systems.

Start with the quickstart to run a BMP collector, then use the configuration guide to connect the components you need. The CLI guide covers day-to-day inspection; the RIB query API covers automation and route exports.

This manual follows the main branch. Netom is under active development; configuration and API details can change between 0.x versions. See releases for package platforms and the publishing process.
