route-smash
Quick'n'Dirty prefix generator for use with ExaBGP
Description
This is a simple python script to generate sequential BGP updates (all /24s). When combined with an appropriate ExaBGP configuration, route-smash can be used to load test routers and benchmark RIB, FIB and Forwarding-Plane limits.
Usage
Given the following exabgp configuration:
## File: exabgp.conf
neighbor 10.0.5.10 {
description "Test Router";
router-id 10.0.0.31;
local-address 10.0.0.31;
local-as 65001;
peer-as 65000;
process route-smash {
run ./route-smash.py;
}
}
and assuming route-smash.py was located in the same directory you would launch with:
exabgp exabgp.conf
