New blog post! I tested the Microsoft Windows BGP implementation in RRAS, and oh boy is it not ready for taking a full table (to be fair it's not designed for that) https://blog.benjojo.co.uk/post/flexing-windows-rras-bgp-stack-ipv6

@kouett Yup, from Server 2016 onwards, though it is clearly designed for a handful of default routes and announcing some prefixes, rather than a full table router, as proven by the post :)

@manawyrm the 100ms route insert time is a little bonkers, but if you are just importing some intranet/default routes it does make sense!

@benjojo and the blocking other operations while the table sync is running also seems unhealthy. the other crazy back of my head idea would‘ve been a bird windows port, but eh, well, my time is limited 😹

@manawyrm There is prior art of using different bgpd's on windows! See this: https://jlu5.com/blog/bgp-dn42-windows-server
