Hi List
What is the simplest BGP anycast lab I can set up using Linux VMs running on virtualbox?
I'm trying to build the minimum virtual lab to test an Anycast configuration based on BGP. I have enough computing power to run about 4 linux VMs on Virtualbox on a single laptop. I'm using BIRD as a route server (not Quagga, not Zebra) on Linux. Is this even viable?
the assuming you're looking to simulate more that one instance topologically you need a host and 2 nexthops O1 \ H2 O2 / The host learns a the Origin route from two neighboring routers, prefers one or prefers both. In the later case you have ECMP.
I'd appreciate it if anyone could share their experiences/configurations, diagrams if they've set up a similar lab.
Thanks in advance,
