comparing open source BGP stacks performance

[Maria Matejka]

Hello!

I've updated bgperf somehow, see my fork:

	https://github.com/marenamat/bgperf

Notable changes are:

* replacing ExaBGP by BIRD to consume less resources by feeding
* fixed policy configuration in BIRD (no clue whether it works with 
other stacks)

Thanks a lot for the batch feature, it comes handy. I am also thinking
about other features currently missing (or I have just not found them):

* running every settings combination several times and counting 
min-avg-max-stdev-whatever stats
* specifying a branch to test in the batch

Do you have any recommendation where to put the implementation of these 
features?

Maria
