Fell free to contact me if you have any questions about ExaBGP as I am painfully aware it's documentation is nowhere near what it should be. Thomas Sent from my iPad On 23 Aug 2012, at 08:52, Andy Davidson <andy@nosignal.org> wrote:

Of those who have used Quagga or Bird, or anything else, would either of them be appropriate and/or well suited for use as an iBGP blackhole route server?
You can use Quagga or Bird as a blackhole BGP injector, because the forwarding load is next to nothing and the number of prefixes in your blackhole RIB is likely to be small.
You might - if you programatically get the blackhole criteria from your crm or some other database find ExaBGP to be easier to integrate with your data source. ExaBGP is a very lightweight BGP speaker that is perfectly suited for this purpose - http://code.google.com/p/exabgp/
