If you don't like it I hear Cisco do a BGP4 capable router for well over $10,000USD. [and you only get one of those]. There is a freely available version which doesn't have all the bells and whistles but functions very well and you have the source code for that. If you want to add to it, do what everyone else does and add it yourself or pay the consortium fees, As I understand it you would fit into the Service membership level which is USD12,000 for the first year and USD10,000 for additional years. Hardly a bank buster, it would cost you a great deal more to do this with Cisco or anyother vendor. [You did actually ask the consortium about their licenses din't you?]. Regards, Neil.
So far, I've had a large number of questions about a statement I made here in NANOG. The statement was made in passing, while I was looking for sources for something that would run BGP4 and allow us to transition from static single-homing to dynamic multi-homing. Rather than answer, yet many more inquiries, I am posting the answer here in NANOG, to fore-stall further such inquiries.
