Routing Information Service (RIS)

Routing Information Service (RIS) is a system used in the internet to collect and share information about how data packets are routed between different networks. It gathers real-time data from various network routers around the world and makes it available for analysis or visualization. This helps network operators understand traffic patterns, detect issues, and improve the overall performance and security of internet routing. Essentially, RIS acts as a global traffic monitor, providing insights into the paths data takes across the internet.
