GNS3-Topology: EvilRouters- BGP Over Multilink PPP Lab
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on January 11th, 2009 | 4 CommentsBGP for me is one hell of an interesting routing protocol. Until I got into working with enterprise networks, I never realized how much it was used. After working with it now for about 2 years, it’s really grown on me and is a part of the CCNP study which I cant wait to make it to. Even more so I cant wait to implement as many as I can
Anyway onto the lab…
As a continuation from Jeremy’s Configuring Multilink PPP lab over at EvilRouters, and my GNS3 verison of it: EvilRouters-Multilnk PPP Lab - Here is part 2 of his series - This one is BGP Over Multilink PPP Lab
Routers Used: 3640
IOS: c3640-jk9s-mz.124-16a
Feature of Topology: BGP, Multilink PPP, MP, MPPP, MLP, or Multilink
What is Multilink PPP?
Multilink PPP (also referred to as MP, MPPP, MLP, or Multilink) provides a method for spreading traffic across multiple physical WAN links while providing packet fragmentation and reassembly, proper sequencing, multivendor interoperability, and load balancing on inbound and outbound traffic.
What is BGP?
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is the core routing protocol of the Internet. It maintains a table of IP networks or ‘prefixes’ which designate network reachability among autonomous systems (AS). It is described as a path vector protocol. BGP does not use traditional IGP metrics, but makes routing decisions based on path, network policies and/or rulesets.

dude what a freaking cool site. pure genius! Thanks a lot dude!
hey what machines are people using out there to run GNS3. I like GNS3 the gui form of Dyna becuase you can make notes on it and network maps..but I cannot for the life of me no matter how many times i calculate Idle PC values run
the 12.4 k9 ios images on my laptop. my laptop is duo core and 2 GB of ram rami is fine it is the cpu that is sucked dry when say i run 4 routers with the 12.4 ios k9 series. what kind of hardware have you seen that can run that many? i have heard guys running 5 or more with not too much cpu say 50%.
i have to see it to believe it…..what you have you found out?
thanks

Sure you can. I have run a lab with 13 routers with average 60% CPU. Use the idlepc which is just below 50.
