What I need to do is test router performance between different
vendors, while they do various ISP-like things, such as carry lots
of BGP routes. One option here is to use a live feed, but the problem
here is that I need to control the conditions exactly between
test runs.
A few people have suggested commercial products to do this, and I'm
going to look at both of them. Another alternative might be to run
gated on a Unix box and populate it with 50,000 or so static routes.
