Re: BGP in a containers

2018-06-15 Thread Tom Limoncelli
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 b
