BGP Tool for Simulation

[patrick.lynchehaun at alcatel-lucent.com (Lynchehaun, Patrick (Patrick))]

You could use load sbgp/mrtd script to load route dumps. There is also bgpsimple http://code.google.com/p/bgpsimple/wiki/README
This also brings up another question, anyone know of v6 rib tool on unix to load v6 route dumps.

Tks,
    Patrick.

Roll quagga / BGPd on *nix and bring up sessions with whatever you like.

For full tables, you can either hack up a few lines of perl to output a bunch of 'network a.b.c.d' lines from any of the available text looking glasses into the bgpd conf, or just bring up ebgp-multihop session with one of your borders or one of your friends. Prefix lists, communities, etc are all supported.
