Noel,
Does anybody happen to know of any open source project working on a BGP
route optimizer like what Route Science or Internap or the likes have
commercially?
The TOTEM project (see http://totem.info.ucl.ac.be/ ) is building a set
of open source traffic engineering tools. Our focus is currently on
tools that can allow ISPs to engineer/capacity plan their network by :
- tuning BGP configuration
- tuning IGP weights
- establishing intra- and inter-domain MPLS tunnels
The TOTEM toolbox will evolve over a three years period and the first
version will be available this fall from the project web site.
Concerning BGP, the project has already developped a tool called C-BGP
(http://cbgp.info.ucl.ac.be) that can be used to simulate the behavior
of BGP in large networks. C-BGP supports a configuration language
similar to current routers and we have used it to simulated networks
with 10.000 routers. We are currently using CBGP to perform what-if
analysis to evaluate the impact of link, router and peering failures in
transit networks.
We are interested in discussing with ISPs who would like to use/test
such an opensource traffic engineering toolbox on ther network.
Best regards,
Olivier Bonaventure
