Provide a data to BGPmon
All the BGPMon users can be divided into three main groups. Each group will use BGPMon in a defferent level. We organize the user guide into three sections which each section is for a specifc group. So If you are a potential user of BGPMon, the first thing is to find which user group you are in. After that, you can find the most appropriate user guide to read.
Here are the three user groups of BGPmon:

- People who can provide us with peering.
- People who want to download BGPMon and run it themselves.
