Using BGP (Quagga) in containers is a great way to build a simulation of
your actual network. You can then test configuration changes in the
simulation before you make them in production.

You can even build this up into an automated test pipeline where new
configurations are tested in simulation before put into production.

There was a talk about an experimental system like this at the February
2017 meetup:

Title: "DevOps to NetworkOps"
Speaker: Xavier Nicollet, Stack Overflow

I am working on an personal experiment and was wondering what is the best
option for running BGP in a docker base container. I have seen a lot blogs
and docs referencing Quagga. I just want to make sure I am not over looking
any other options before I dive in. Any thoughts or suggestions?
