BGP Tool for Simulation

Oi Giulianao,

I've used this in the past to dump a lot of routes into test networks:

http://code.google.com/p/bgpsimple/

Tutorial: http://evilrouters.net/2009/08/21/getting-bgp-routes-into-dynamips-with-video/

There's a similar project written in python, but I can't find it right now.

HTH,
