Others have pointed several great open source BGP daemons which can interface
with Linux routing. If you just want to ignore BGP for forwarding, and point a default
at one place, you might like to consider ExaBGP. This is very lightweight - it can do
the BGP announcing of your prefix(es) without syncing routing changes to the Linux
routing table. There are some simple AS112 instances, for example, delivered with
this model. https://github.com/Exa-Networks/exabgp
