Just about every router on the market (even the GRF) that is BGP capable has some sort of BGP monitoring tool, though some have better tools than others (I'm quite fond of the cisco bgp setup). Good luck with your BGP studies. It's a complex protocol that works like no other, but it's not that bad. American Research Group offers a 2 day class on BGP that they couple with a 2 day OSPF class that I rate very highly. Also, once you start using BGP, http://nitrous.digex.net has some great routing mirrors to show you if your routes are making it out into the world.
