Anyone have experience doing BGP sessions with Bird?
To what extent? I dealt with it a little at LI, mostly troubleshooting to make sure it was properly advertising.

From a high-level view, basically if I have a linux box acting as a router it will:
- Sit in front of our switch/hosts
- Establish a BGP session with our upstream peer
- Route incoming traffic to our switch/hosts
Basically just need a physical host with at least an in/out nic port?
Traffic doesn't need to go *through* the box, necessarily... you can do router-on-a-stick (www.geeksforgeeks.org/configur...).
Are you looking for a basic router or a traffic server?
