Thanks Stefan for your reply. Basically the goal of this testing is to study the BGP scalability issues in the internet sometime in future lets say 10 years from now and try to find out what problems it could face . I am trying to use ns2 as my simulation environment. Can you suggest how I can se

2008-09-01 Thread Fouant, Stefan
Topology and setup of these kinds of tests largely depend on whether you are testing iBGP or eBGP. In my experience, eBGP testing is fairly straight forward as you are almost always testing reconvergence of the BGP next-hop. iBGP testing scenarios on the other hand can be quite a bit more compl

Sounds like if you don't do business with China, putting in a blackhole on AS4134 (and maybe 4837 and 4812) would knock out the majority of the tro
