Jane,
Couldn't you just use a full BGP feed from a provider and configure your
inbound route-map/policy with the necessary parameters to obtain the part of
the BGP table that you want?  Or if this is just to populate something in a
lab with a specific set of BGP info, you could obtain a copy of the table
from someplace like route-views and load up the lab router or MRT (or equiv)
in the lab and massage the table data within the lab.  

If this is for a customer/production router, I suppose you could coordinate
with the upstream provider to do something similar with their outbound
route-map/policy so that you only get a partial table.

Hi,

We ran out of time.

Anyway, question for the best network operators in America, and beyond. 

Is there a way to download _part_ of a BGP table from a router?

Can I use something like logic, sql to download just a piece, a specific
piece of the BGP table?

I can't believe this is impossible...

Thanks for any help on this,

Jane
