Hi, Zebra is outdated, the successor is called quagga (at least on debian) and is capable of providing most of the vendor C BGP features, though MD5 autentication is still experimental I think. We used to push a handful of BGP full feeds on our quagga router and it didn't stumble a bit. OSPF also works quite well, btw. Florian

I thought someone was posting from the CCIE forum stuff I do. So disregard the lack-of-caffeine-induced, retarded command about no router being able to support a full feed. :) My apologies.... Zebra is still a good idea though!

If you just want to play with BGP stuff, you can use Zebra (unix) or go to www.nantech.com and get their BGP4WIN program. That may help you a bit more.

I'm not really fussed about keeping it up to date, so a snapshot is fine. At the moment, I'm thinking about spending a few hours hacking together a BGP daemon in perl to peer with and record a table from a production router, disconnect, and then start peering with lab routers. Am I reinventing a wheel here? -- Nathan Ward
