Hi, let me jump in here - I have been doing BGP trainings over the last few years and my initial idea was just the same, just give everyone a RaspberryPI. But when I tested this (your experience was different from what I read) I spent way too much time debugging PI-issues instead of doing BGP.
So back to the drawing board and my BGP training now uses a docker-based FRRouting. Source code for my BGP lab is here: https://gitlab.com/de-cix-public/team-academy/bgp/BGPLab Training materials for BGP (draft!) here: https://de-cix-group.gitlab.io/team-academy/bgp/BGP-Seminar-Documentation/ Also I recorded some videos about "Networking Basics", all available for free here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_gbuEiuFIEDz1frRh9ctWZzgBBtLUVSP&si=RttjJxLwc8P20wXs best regards Wolfgang > On 5.
