Hi, can someone give me a website where I can check peering status between two ASes? I want to know if the network between a customer and our datacenter is affected by peering issues.

My dream would be if I could just enter two ASNs and see any issues on the path inbetween. But it's also fine if I can only enter neighboring ASNs.

I know you can query BGP information with peering status e.g. on https://bgpview.io or https://bgp.tools, but that only shows if they peer, not if the link is currently up.

If one of the two ASNs has a Looking Glass is the only way I can think of, although someone else may have an idea. Maybe a traceroute between the two?

Thank you, will make a list of Looking Glasses for some ASes and link them in our internal Netbox. Good idea! I already found two of the involved ones :)

Maybe a traceroute between the two?

A good idea in principle, but in my case it's usually our ISP's AS and the customer ISP's AS. I would prefer not to involve the customer to save time and effort.
