Testing labs.

These aren't browser demos. Each lab runs Ze for real, on your own machine.

Labs run against real third-party daemons (xl2tpd, accel-ppp, strongSwan), or boot Ze for real in a VM, using Docker or QEMU. Some need Docker with host-kernel features Docker Desktop on macOS doesn't provide; a QEMU path is noted where one exists. This is what "evidence over claims" means in practice. Looking for speed rather than correctness? See Performance.

BGP Protocol Interop

Daemon Docker
  • Real FRR, BIRD, and GoBGP sessions, not mocks
  • 68 scenarios across core protocol and extensions

L2TP PPP/NCP Interop

Daemon Docker QEMU
  • Ze as LNS vs real xl2tpd/pppd LAC
  • FRR proves BGP redistribution from a live PPP session

PPPoE Interop

Daemon Docker QEMU
  • Ze's PPPoE client vs real accel-ppp access concentrator
  • The dominant open-source BRAS/AC, not a stub

IPsec / IKEv2 Interop

Daemon Docker
  • Ze as IKE initiator vs real strongSwan/charon
  • FRR redistribute scenarios over the tunnel

Looking Glass Graph Demo

Daemon Browsable
  • Realistic UK topology, real external ASNs
  • The one lab that's actually visual today

Appliance Installer Evidence

Appliance QEMU
  • Installer boots and completes for real: HTTP/PXE, ISO, Ventoy
  • Plus failure-path, fault, pin, and rescue scenarios

VPP Dataplane Evidence

Daemon Docker
  • Ze programs FIB, traffic, and firewall into a real VPP daemon
  • Backs the production numbers in the VPP guide
