+## BGP real-time routes
+
+Radar's prefix routing page displays real-time BGP routes as a Sankey diagram. This visualization is built using MRT data from [RouteViews][route-views] and [RIPE RIS][ripe-ris], combined with real-time streams from RouteViews' Kafka instance and [RIS Live][ris-live].
+
+By default, the route visualization shows paths from the originating AS to [tier-1 networks][tier-1], omitting the segments from tier-1 networks to BGP route collectors for clarity. Users can choose to see the complete paths using the "Show full paths" toggle.
+
+Above the visualization, a table details the prefix origin, including the originating AS, its visibility percentage across route collectors, and RPKI validation status (`valid`, `invalid`, `unknown`).
+
+Hovering over a link in the diagram reveals a tooltip with the connected ASNs, the observing BGP route collectors, and the last update timestamp.
