This branch is very much under construction. There's a 99% chance that hyperglass will not function at all if you download and install from this branch. If you're looking for a working version of hyperglass, please go to the master branch.

hyperglass is a modern network looking glass application. A looking glass is typically implemented by network service providers as a way of providing customers, peers, and partners with a way to easily view elements of, or run tests from the provider's network.

Documentation | Screenshots | Live Demo

hyperglass is intended to make implementing a looking glass too easy not to do, with the lofty goal of improving the internet community at large by making looking glasses more common across autonomous systems of any size.

Community

There is now a hyperglass team on Keybase! Any users, potential users, or contributors of hyperglass are welcome to join to discuss usage, feature requests, bugs, and other things.

hyperglass is developed with the express intention of being free to the networking community.

However, the hyperglass demo does cost /checktheroads about $15/month for 3 Digital Ocean droplets. If you're feeling particularly helpful and want to help offset that cost, small donations are welcome.
