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?
What about firewall and address translation?
Basically I'm trying to accomplish:
- Have an ASN to announce to peer
- /24 is assigned to ASN
- Each host behind the router does own firewall & NAT'ing
- Each host has containers which get assigned a static public / private IP
I guess router with no NAT'ing?
