BGP process torture
I'm attempting to help somebody re-produce a possible glitch that relies on heavily loading the BGP process on their router. Anybody know a good/pre-canned way to synthesize, preferably with some knobs to control behavior, a couple of full-table edge-like session in terms of number of routes as well as amount of churn? -- Brandon Martin
Exabgp should be able to help you out here. Great for doing fun things with BGP. https://github.com/Exa-Networks/exabgp --chip On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 12:41 PM, Brandon Martin <lists.nanog@monmotha.net> wrote:

Cisco's Pagent (a modified IOS image with numerous testing capabilities) can also be used to do this. *Pablo Lucena* On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 12:47 PM, chip <chip.gwyn@gmail.com> wrote:

You find a new tool every day. Thanks for the heads up on that particular swiss army knife. Looks like it would make this pretty straightforward. -- Brandon Martin
Have you tried exabgp? -- Eduardo Schoedler 2014-11-03 15:41 GMT-02:00 Brandon Martin <lists.nanog@monmotha.net>:
