I'm blanking. Does IXIA make Smartbits?
When performance isn't paramount, and there's an interest in doing
complex or even erroneous BGP paths, I've used *NIX PCs with Zebra or
its successor, Quagga. In such applications, you usually want a
precision time reference. GPS cards are cheap, but you may have to
run a cable to a window or outside antenna inside a steel-framed
building.
