Yeah, I think it also gets complicated as some of us also have our own internal
BGP speakers as well. Taking MRT files from route-views or RIPE RIS and
replaying them is certainly helpful to simulate certain events. I’ve found a
lot of interesting “new attribute” experiments when I had a poorly written MRT
parser that would trigger periodically when something new hit the internet.
