Getting a BGP table in to a lab

Hi,
Zebra is outdated, the successor is called quagga (at least on debian)
and is capable of providing most of the vendor C BGP features, though
MD5 autentication is still experimental I think. We used to push a
handful of BGP full feeds on our quagga router and it didn't stumble a
bit. OSPF also works quite well, btw.
