@ylucki: Can you please elaborate on your use case for BGP? Specifically, do 
you want to create a BGP stream like any other ostinato stream or are you 
looking for BGP protocol emulation so that Ostinato acts as a BGP peer to a DUT?

Its both actually.

Intention is to be able to use Ostinato as a BGP peer to a DUT and to be able 
to pump some BGP data too.

@ylucki: Can you please describe a use-case/test-case that would need you to 
"pump some BGP data"? A BGP stream to pump BGP data would need to be stateful 
(ostinato streams are not stateful today).

I was thinking that "not stateful" would be a blocker for implementing this.

But this is one of the use cases I am targeting to see if can be automated 
using Ostinato :

1. To send Commnity Names over IBGP as well as EBGP and validate on the DUT
2. Send duplicate Community Names over IBGP and EBGP as well to validate on DUT
