Yeah, I think it also gets complicated as some of us also have our own internal BGP speakers as well. Taking MRT files from route-views or RIPE RIS and replaying them is certainly helpful to simulate certain events. Iâ??ve found a lot of interesting â??new attributeâ?? experiments when I had a poorly written MRT parser that would trigger periodically when something new hit the internet.
