I'm currently in the process of trying to create a number of routing
instances to inject routes into a lab network. Virtualisation is
useful as I can create three or four linux "servers" which each have
their own instance of quagga to push the routes into the lab network
and on one piece of hardware.
Of course, I might also be able to do this with VRF-lite :)
