Well first of all do you have a rib dump? If not see
http://routeviews.org/ for source material.
Specifically
http://archive.routeviews.org/ and ftp://archive.routeviews.org/
As for inserting it into Quagga, I'm not sure how to go about doing
that. Various google searches don't turn anything up.
I was planning on looking into this problem in a few weeks anyway. I'm
building a network test bed and having full BGP tables is a part of my
testing.
When I figure it out I'll post to the list unless its figured out before
then.
