A few people have suggested commercial products to do this, and I'm going to look at both of them. Another alternative might be to run gated on a Unix box and populate it with 50,000 or so static routes.
Ah, so what you're really looking for is a reproducable source of "production size" BGP tables? Sounds like a valid way to test cross platform performance, but not really a job for a "modeling tool", per se. (but your original subject line make much more sense to me now.) (... and I'm certain that there are folks that would be curious about your results. :) cheers -- Sean
