# gobgp-evpn — modular EVPN test-route injector

A **profile-gated, non-production** GoBGP instance for exercising the EVPN
ingestion pipeline (roadmap E5). The CML IOS-XR lab cannot originate EVPN
routes, so this container synthesises them.

## What it does

`gobgp-evpn` runs GoBGP with no BGP peers, BMP-exporting its local RIB
(`route-monitoring-policy = local-rib`) to the OpenBMP collector. Routes
injected with `inject-evpn.sh` are parsed by the collector and published to
the `openbmp.parsed.evpn` Kafka topic, where the EVPN consumer picks them up
and writes the `evpn_rib` table.

## Usage

```sh
# start the injector (not started by a normal `docker compose up`)
docker compose --profile evpn-test up -d gobgp-evpn

# push synthetic type-2 / type-3 / type-5 EVPN routes
bash gobgp-evpn/inject-evpn.sh

# inspect what GoBGP holds
docker exec obmp-gobgp-evpn gobgp global rib -a evpn

# stop it when done testing
docker compose --profile evpn-test stop gobgp-evpn
```

## Notes

- Local AS 65010, router-id 10.40.40.251 — distinct from the production
  `gobgp` global-table feed (AS 65001).
- It is *not* part of the default stack: the `evpn-test` Compose profile
  keeps it out of production and lets it be started/stopped on demand.
- EVPN type-5 (IP-prefix) routes require a `gw <gateway>` argument in the
  GoBGP CLI — see `inject-evpn.sh`.
