What problem are you trying to solve in your router testing?
Are you trying to measure the forwarding capacity? The convergence
characteristics with and without policy? (see
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-berkowitz-bgpcon-01.txt)
Are you trying to verify the correctness of the protocol implementation?
How do you define "best?" If a given tester cost twice as much as
another, but could impose 95% of line rate rather than 75% of line
reate, is this important?
What kind of reports do you expect the tester to give you? How much
programming are you willing to do to analyze test results?
