NAME
BGPmon::Translator::XFB2PerlHash::Simpler - a cleaner interface to extract commonly-used information from XFB messages that, unline XFB2PerlHash::Simple, will ignore xml attributes.
SYNOPSIS
use BGPmon::Translator::XFB2PerlHash::Simpler;
my $xml_message = "...
if(BGPmon::Translator::XFB2PerlHash::Simpler::parse_xml_msg($xml_message)){
print BGPmon::Translator::SFB2PerlHash::get_error_msg('parse_xml_msg')."\n";
exit 1;
}
my @withdrawn_prefixes = BGPmon::Translator::XFB2PerlHash::get_withdraw();
foreach(@withdrawn_prefixes){
...
}
my $peer_address = BGPmon::Translator::XFB2PerlHash::extract_sender_addr();
print "Seen at peer $peer_address\n";

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
get_error_msg
Will return the error message of the given function name.
Input: A string that contains the function name where an error occured.
Output: The message which represents the error stored from that function.
get_error_code
Will return the error code of the given function name.
Input: A string that represents the function name where an error occured.
Output: The code which represents the error stored from that function.
parse_xml_msg
Will translate an XML message from a string to a perl hash
Input: An XML string from a BGPmon source
Output: 0 if parsing completed successfully
extract_sender_addr
Will extract a sender's IP address from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: IPv4/6 Address if successful; undef if not.
extract_sender_port
Will extract a sender's port number from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Port number if successful; undef if not.
extract_sender_asn
Will extract a sender's ASN number from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: ASN number if successful; undef if not.
extract_withdraw
Will extract all the withdrawn prefixes from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Array of IPv4/6 prefixes that were seen to have been withdrawn.
extract_nlri
Will extract all the prefixes in NLRI areas from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Array of IPv4 prefixes that were seen in NLRIs.
extract_mpreach_nlri
Will extract all the IPv4/6 prefixes announced in MP_REACH_NLRI's from the parsed XML mesage. This will exclude the MP_REACH NEXT_HOP.
Input: None
Output: Array of IPv4/6 prefixes that were seen in MP_REACH_NLRI's
extract_mpunreach_nlri
Will extract all the IPv4/6 prefixes withdrawn in MP_UNREACH_NLRI's from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Array of IPv4/6 prefixes that were seen in MP_UNREACH_NLRI's
extract_aspath
Will extract all the ASNs found in either AS_PATH/AS_SET or AS_PATH/AS_SEQUENCE from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Array of ASNs found in the AS_PATH path attribute.
extract_as4path
Will extract all the ASNs found in either AS4_PATH/AS_SET or AS4_PATH/AS_SEQUENCE from the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: Array of ASNs found in the AS4_PATH path attribute.
extract_origin
Will extract the ASN where the message was announced from within the parsed XML mesage.
Input: None
Output: The ASN of the origin AS; undef if there is none.
