Monday I'll  ask at work if I can use a server for this. Then I have some real fast hardware to test on :-).  If FreeBSD is not an option, I can always test on linux, running just one Xorp instance. And loading full routing table.

I can do useful work on Linux, but am mostly worthless on BSD, so I'd definitely
prefer Linux.

I think for perf testing, using a single xorp instance would make things easiest.

Oprofile is a bit ticklish sometimes, but usually isn't too hard.

It would be nice to run on fast hardware, but for doing optimization, a slower (or virtual)
system should be fine too.  On the off chance it's convenient to give out
ssh access, I'd enjoy poking at a Linux system able to load the full bgp tables.

Thanks,
Ben
