Qemu has nothing to do with forwarding packets nor with protocols either. Qemu is an emulator which would emulate x86 or other architectures. Read up on qemu networking
http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/NetworkingThe other option could be to use UML as i already told you. Read up about it in the following link
http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/network.htmlThanks,

Virtualization is the key. If you just have a single system and you want to have a BGP/RIP/OSPF session the best way would be to either use UML or Qemu Virtualization techniques, which is one of the recommended ways to test your kernel too if you want to. If you have been used to VMware kind of environment earlier, then i would suggest you could use VirtualBox too. The quickest way would be to use UML or Qemu environments.
I used Qemu in the past. So if you have any other manual on how to set up for quagga testing, please do share with me

You have 2 PCs so the best would be to have a back to back connection if you want a basic setup, if you need a setup with 4-5 routers then refer the techniques i refered above.

Hi,
How would you test (or) debug your code generally? like ospf, bgp, rip... how to verify that your code is working?
do you use any simulator or any other software for testing ?
I don't have big setup, I have 2 desktop pc, that's all i can afford, with that just want to know, how best I can test my code?
thanks
Ashok
