I played with it for a while.  It was nice to use it to simulate with, but
for eBGP, I am with gated for now. The program seemed decent enough, but
the focus of the project is more on cutting edge protocols and routing
simulation rather than a stable feature set.  Zebra in the near to medium
future might be the way to go (http://www.zebra.org) For now, I run gated
3.5.11 on my two border routers, and it has done us well so far.  There is
a patch posted to the gated list that you will want to allow you to do AS
path prepending which is necessary if you want to do any sort of inbound
traffic manipulation.  Also, if you want to take full views, you will need
to run 3.3 RELEASE or better as the patches to fix the 2^16 routes per
interface limitation is not in 3.2R
