Zebra is a great option here, I use it to eat a routing table from production routers, peer a perl Net::BGP daemon with it, and then do SQL injections from there to instruct my netflow engine on baseline subnetting for external networks, as well as provide AS clue for non-AS aware netflow expo

Getting a BGP table in to a lab

I'm trying to come up with a way to get a full BGP routing table in to my lab. I'm not really fussed about keeping it up to date, so a snapshot is fine. At the moment, I'm thinking about spending a few hours hacking together a BGP daemon in perl to peer with and record a table from a production ro

This can also be done with stateless hash-based load balancing, which produces exactly the results discussed below (single TCP sessions remain on the same server, while repeated UDP queries go to different servers). A single address is advertised by the DNS servers via OSPF. Each POP has mult

BTW, while it looks like you've shown it to be traditional load balancing, I ought to explain that this is also not a very good idea. The loadbalancer is a single point of failure, usually. Loadbalancers are a good idea for stateful, high-work-request servers such as web servers running web-apps.
