Hello Giuliano,
Along with the recommendation of dynamips, I would suggest downloading gns3,
which ties into dynamips.? You can run the same version of IOS that you are
working with in production, and there are versions for Windows/*nix.
http://www.gns3.net/
It acts more like an emulators at first glance, and does not seem to have the
same limitations as some of the other simulators out there.? Just make sure you
have the hardware to support it.
Thanks,

Oi Giulianao,
I've used this in the past to dump a lot of routes into test networks:
http://code.google.com/p/bgpsimple/
Tutorial:
http://evilrouters.net/2009/08/21/getting-bgp-routes-into-dynamips-with-video/
There's a similar project written in python, but I can't find it right now.

I would like to thank everyone who provided their recommendations both
on and off list. There was a lot of off-list response but not exactly
what I had expected to see. I had expected to see a lot of different
vendors but also expected to see a couple that several would recommend.
That really didn't happen. Practically every single suggestion was a
different vendor. There was one vendor that got multiple
recommendations but it was also the only vendor that multiple people
recommended avoiding. In fact, it was the only vendor that anyone
recommended to avoid.
As I now have a list of many vendors that I didn't know existed, I will
sort through the mail later today or tomorrow and consolidate the list.
The lesson seems to be that everyone seems to have someone different
that they trust to test their network and that a more in-depth look at
the recommendations is in order.
Thanks again, everyone.
George

These folks make a tester that loads up BGP very nicely.

is this a 'this country' bandwidth problem or the problem that moving
10tb of 'corporate data' in a 'secure fashion' from 'office' to
'cloud' really isn't a simple task? and that cutting a DB over at a
point in time 'next tuesday!' is far easier done by shipping a
point-in-time copy of the DB via sata-drive than 'holy cow copy this
over the corp ds3, while we make sure not to kill it for mail/web/etc
other corporate normal uses' ?
The broadband plan stuff mostly covers consumers, not enterprises,
most of the (amazon as the example here) cloud folks offer
disk-delivery options for businesses.
you seem to be comparing apples to oranges, no?

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a stationwagon full of
$current_high_density_storage_media.

More than one person has pointed out that offline media will always be
higher bandwidth than transmission lines (but nobody with such
elegance and hilarity as Nick Hilliard's last post). Point taken.
The question, in my mind, is whether it's reasonable to ask that
regional providers reach the same bar as privately owned campus
networks.
I don't agree with you, Christopher, that the broadband plan won't
affect corporate users. I know that this list _mostly_ consists of
operators, but I've gotten some offline responses to my initial query
that seem to indicate that enterprise users utilize SOHO (consumer
grade, but with higher speeds) for various branch office needs. Also,
when a technology gets "consumerized" it tends to create interesting
effects in terms of features and price points.
Think of it this way: where would corporate mobile phones be without
the consumer effect? We'd still be carrying them around in bags and
only corporate officers would have them.
I appreciate everyone's response!
