LG is a Looking Glass written in Perl as a CGI script. It can execute almost all BGP-related commands and do ping and traceroute in routers or relay these queries to other looking glasses.

It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 commands, and is tested with Cisco, Zebra, and Juniper. It can connect to a router using different methods of remote connection like SSH, telnet or rsh.

Here are some key features of "LookingGlass":
all BGP show commands, ping and traceroute
IPv4 and IPv6 support
router access using SSH, telnet, rsh or via other public LG
XML configuration file (requires XML::Parser)
