If you are testing the receipt of routes and inbound filtering, I just block
all outbound advertisements and connect to an ISP or one of my border
routers.
That way you can test your filters and inbound access-lists and manipulate
the BGP tables before putting the router into production.
Hope that helps some,

Subject: Testing BGP with real UPDATEs
Hi,
How is a BGP implementation tested with real Internet routing data (BGP
UPDATEs)? Are there any experimental/test networks that can be connected to
for testing a BGP implementation?
Thanks,
