Thank you for the prompt response. Just to clarify my previous post, I was actually referring to Linux/Unix-based routers. We've been considering this solution because presently we don't have any budget for equipment acquisition this year.
What's your time worth? Quagga on Linux is a fine software, but messing with the idiosyncrasies is far more time consuming than buying a Cisco 2811, adding enough RAM to handle BGP, configuring it once and forgetting about it. Also bear in mind that while your ISP's engineers can help you configure your Cisco router, Quagga is a mystery to them. You can still get help... but not from someone who also knows how the ISP's network is configured. This is not a problem if you have lots of experience with BGP routing. Do you?
