I was reading the nice BGP Multi-Homed with Two ISPs and Two Routers scenario by Suresh Vinasiththamby - Packetswitch and thought wouldn’t it be nice if he were using netlab to build the lab, as that would give you the opportunity to build the same lab with zero hassle using non-Cisco devices. Guess what – Suresh already did just that. I was so glad to see someone using netlab in just the way I imagined it to be used.

Apart from that, the article is well worth reading if you’re starting your BGP journey, as it covers numerous details you have to get right to build a working multihoming solution – I added a link to it to several BGP labs as it neatly illustrates how to use the particular bit of technology you practice in the lab in real life.
