=2E... I guess you know how that works.
(apt-get install quagga, *xen etc.. read the various FAQ's online)
XORP is of course also a great one, but doesn't have the 100%
cisco-alike feeling. You could possibly even use livecd's for this.
It might be an idea for somebody indeed to make a pre-cooked iso which
does something like this, then again, like quite a few other things,
as it is quite specific, a mere "howto build a fat Xen-Quagga howto"
might be more appropriate than yet another distribution...

Of course, but that is why, when you build a network, you first set it
up in a lab. You can't make something when you don't know what you are
going to do with it. A good extensible design and above all, a lot of
experience, will help a lot in that area.
