Zebra is a great option here, I use it to eat a routing table from production routers, peer a perl Net::BGP daemon with it, and then do SQL injections from there to instruct my netflow engine on baseline subnetting for external networks, as well as provide AS clue for non-AS aware netflow export segments. - billn On Wed, 20 Apr 2005, Scott Morris wrote:

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 trying to come up with a way to get a full BGP routing table in to my lab. 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?
