Integrates queries to major carrier looking glasses (Telia, Level3, NTT) for ping, traceroute, and BGP data directly from the CLI, as shown in the usage examples with telia/los angeles> bgp commands.
Consolidates over a dozen tools including DNS lookup from 200+ countries, packet analyzer, port scanning, and LAN discovery, reducing the need to switch between separate utilities like dig or nmap.
Supports vi/emacs editing modes, auto-complete, and command history, making it efficient for network professionals who prefer keyboard-driven workflows, as mentioned in the features list.
Includes a web dashboard for monitoring and diagnostics, providing an alternative to CLI for real-time visualizations, evidenced by the web dashboard feature and demo images.
Requires installation of Go 1.7+ and libpcap dependencies, which adds complexity compared to single-binary tools or those available via standard package managers.
The README provides usage examples but lacks comprehensive guides for advanced configuration, troubleshooting, or API integration, potentially stalling new users.
Versioned as v0.2.6 in the usage output, indicating it may have unstable APIs, incomplete features, or breaking changes that could affect production use.
