This post introduces Cloudflare Radar's route leak data and API, making information about route leaks across the internet publicly available. It details the system built to detect route leaks using data from public sources and Cloudflare's global network, and explains the concepts of BGP and various types of route leaks (Type 1, 2, 3, and 4) as defined by RFC7908.
