About:
Irrtoolset is a suite of utilities designed for analyzing and managing Internet routing policies using the Routing Policy Specification Language (RPSL). It enables network operators to filter BGP routes, validate policy configurations, and generate access control lists. The toolset is essential for maintaining network security and operational efficiency in large-scale IP networks.

Key Features:

RPSL parsing and analysis
Route and prefix filtering generation
Access-list generation for router configurations
Policy validation and debugging

Use Cases:

Generating BGP route filters for ISP peering
Validating routing registry data for accuracy
Automating network device configuration generation

Alternatives:

bgpq4 – Modern, standalone tool focused on generating prefix filters from IRR data; often faster and easier to integrate than the full Irrtoolset suite.
Radix – Python-based library for IRR query and prefix filtering, offering programmatic integration.
