mrtparse is a module to read and analyze the MRT format data. The MRT format can be used to export routing protocol messages, state changes, and routing information base contents, and was standardized in [RFC6396][rfc6396]. Programs like [Quagga / Zebra][quagga], [BIRD][bird], [OpenBGPD][openbgpd] and [PyRT][pyrt] can dump the MRT fotmat data. You can also download archives from [the Route Views Project][route views], [RIPE NCC][ripe ncc].

##Usage
from mrtparse import *
or
import mrtparse
##Programming First, import the module.
from mrtparse import *
And pass a MRT format data as a filepath string or file object to a class Reader().
It is also supported gzip and bzip2 format.
You can retrieve each entry from the returned object using a loop and then process it.
d = Reader(f)
for m in d:
