pyospf is an OSPF probe implementation in Python. It is designed for making OSPF adjacency with router to retrieve LSDB for real-time monitor or future analysis.

Run it by executing following command. It will load the config file located in ./etc/pyospf.ini and then run pyospf in the front.

$ ./pyospfd

Apart from this, you can also use 'nohup' to run it in daemon.

A HTTP server is running within the program. It is listening the TCP port 7000 by default.

Try following APIs to get the OSPF data. (All APIs use HTTP GET method.)

Noted: Use basic auth mode with the authentication data configured in config file when using the API.

We plan to implement this in near future.

Special thanks to PyRT(Python Routeing Toolkit). Its OSPF PDU parser is used as same as in pyospf.
