tools/loadtest.py releases N simulated students through a barrier so they announce at the same instant, then verifies behaviour rather than only status codes: the table holds every route under the right owner, each route became an UPDATE per established session, the event stream lost no event, concurrent takeover attempts are all refused, withdrawal leaves nothing behind, and the daemon's own counters show the matching number of UPDATEs sent for announcements and withdrawals. Standard library only; supports basic auth and repeated rounds. Safe by default against a production router: every route carries 210036:0:0 (announce nowhere), leftovers from earlier runs are removed, prefixes held by real owners are skipped, and everything is withdrawn even if the run fails.

BGP
The bgp crate is an implementation of the Border Gateway Protocol, which is used to exchange routing and control plane information between Autonomous Systms.
The aim of this project is to provide a modern, high performance, secure and programatic and customizable software package that can be useful to network operators, researchers, and people interested in Internet.
Current status.
The project is currently being rewritten from scratch to be more modular and maintainable, as well as to fix deeper issues with the previous implementation.
⚠️ Warning: This is currently a work in progress and not ready for use.
🛣️ Roadmap to v1.0
We aim for the 1.0 release to be functional and stable to operate peering sessions, and to install routes in the Linux Kernel.
- ☐ Implement basic parsers for the fundamental types required
- ✅ Path Attributes from RFC4271
- ✅ Open message
- ✅ Capabilities from RFC4271
- ✅ Update message
- ☐ Notification message
- ✅ Implement scaffolding required to start and configure a server
- ✅ Implement connection logic to establish sessions with peers (passive and active)
- ✅ Locally originated routes with communities, announced to all peers
- ✅ HTTP API, live status page and Prometheus metrics
- ☐ Implement an efficient data structure for storing prefixes (e.g. Poptrie)
- ☐ Filtering for peer RIB in / out
- ☐ Main / auxillary RIBs for exchanging routes between peers
