Yep. I have no reasons to drop it.

Right now I have like 5 to 10 sessions in peak, most people come, get feed,
reset session couple of times and go away.

I’m finishing writing some short ‘howto’ style doc to explain how to use
this feed for egress traffic engineering when you have multiple ISPs and
no BGP with them.

Sorry, it wasn't a bug; we had power issues at our DC a few days ago and
everything didn't come back up clean *sigh*.  Please test again when you
have a moment.

Thanks,
Greg

Hi Lukasz,

your feed is working well. Feed from Poland to me to Slovakia is better 
than expected :) It's my first live BGP full feed ever so I really 
appreciate you.

Will this instance run for a longer time?

btw:
- converting RIS data via mrt2exabgp looks to be broken, it's falling on 
syntax error in source data. With routeviews.org data it's working but 
exabgp is single-thread (convergence takes some time) and use much more 
RAM to start with full feed config than I excepcted.
- from gregsowell.com I received email with access credentials, however 
L2TP tunnel establishment is falling due to authentication error - looks 
like bug



Thanks to everyone
Blažej

It’s test instance of CSR 1000v running 16.9.5.

If there’ll be interest, I can setup similar box with IOS-XR and/or

This is European feed from Poland, so YMMV, but it has 816,090
prefixes as we speak.

Don’t kill me if it kills your router ;)

You can also launch a VM in your lab

Set up a Vultr instance and you can get a full feed from them for testing.
I've done this for a route collector and it worked well.

BGP full feed for testing purposes

[Blažej Krajňák]

Hello,

I'm wondering, if there is any public service I can get full BGP feed 
from for testing purposes.


I admin multi-homed AS50242 with two default routes for now (fail-over). 
I'm going to prepare new routing setup with extended validation so reall 
full BGP feed would be usefull. Yes, I can ask my upstream provider for 
it, but I don't want to change settings in production setup.



Thanks
