Moazzam,Do you have something specific in mind you want to measure? e.g. convergence times, table size, update count, etc? the scope of your study seems to broad as you describe it..

Thanks Stefan for your reply.Basically the goal of this testing is to study the BGP scalability issues in the internet sometime in future lets say 10 years from now and try to find out what problems it could face . I am trying to use ns2 as my simulationenvironment.Can you suggest how I can set up the envrionment for this kind of study andwhat parameters should I try to caputre.

In my experience, eBGP testing is fairly straight forward as you are almost always testing reconvergence of the BGP next-hop. iBGP testing scenarios on the other hand can be quite a bit more complex as you may also be testing the reconvergence of the underlying IGP if the BGPnext-hop remains unchanged. Can you describe your testing goals and environment in a bit more detail?

I have few queries.1) What sort of topology I should try out ? 2) What parameters should I test?I am trying to simulate it in ns-2 and i would appreciate reply from youguys. Regards MAK
