Hi Marc,I saw from previous email that Quagga was recommended as opposed to OpenBGP. Any further comments on that? Also, any comments on the choice of OpenBSD vs. Linux? I don't want to start a religious war :-) Just curious about what most folks are doing and what their experiences have been.
For the past couple of years we've had good success running Quagga border router/firewall boxes on Debian booting from Sony Microvault 1GB USB. Standard Debian install with some minor mods to make it USB friendly (noatime, a few /dev/shm links.) Once you've got used to apt, it's hard to accept anything else. I know lots of people prefer a stripped down system, but if you're running the same basic services (BGP, SSH) I don't see the difference. Disclaimer: we only take default from our upstreams, so can't comment on Quagga and full routes. Tim:>
