OS-Ken BGP speaker library helps you to enable your code to speak BGP protocol. The library supports IPv4, IPv4 MPLS-labeled VPN, IPv6 MPLS-labeled VPN and L2VPN EVPN address families.
The following simple code creates a BGP instance with AS number 64512 and Router ID 10.0.0.1. It tries to establish a bgp session with a peer (its IP is 192.168.177.32 and the AS number is 64513). The instance advertizes some prefixes.
import eventlet
# BGPSpeaker needs sockets patched
eventlet.monkey_patch()
# initialize a log handler
# this is not strictly necessary but useful if you get messages like:
# No handlers could be found for logger "os_ken.lib.hub"
import logging
import sys
log = logging.getLogger()
log.addHandler(logging.StreamHandler(sys.stderr))
