[nsp] BGP Simulation

[John Edwards]

Has any work been done on a platform emulator rather than a simulator?

Network Appliance recently released an emulation package for linux that 
runs their standard software images with virtual disks and ethernet 
interfaces etc. To me this is far more convenient (not to mention cost 
effective) than testing or training on real hardware.
