Hi,
I’m successfully using BIRD with the Go Looking Glass from 
https://github.com/xddxdd/bird-lg-go.  I haven’t needed to use the birdc CLI 
until now, and I’m a bit confused by it in ways the docs don’t appear to 
address.
(I’m running default distro pkgs on Alma Linux 8.5, one of the post-CentOS RHEL 
rebuilds.)

The output I get looks like:
[root@lg2 ~]# birdc show route | head
BIRD 2.0.9 ready.
Table master4:

  1.  Is the “unreachable” bit normal on a looking glass / route collector?
  2.  What’s with the “?” at the end of some ASes?
  3.  Where’s the AS paths?  All I seem to get is the terminal AS.

I’m not sure if I’m not using the tool correctly, or if I’m even using the 
right tool in the first place.

Pointers / clues appreciated?

Thanks,
-Adam
