I'm sorry you've had a negative experience and we should do better. Let's
start by fixing your issues.

If you are interested in chasing this down to resolution I'm 100% dedicated
to getting this solved for you off list. If you're willing I'll even report
back with what we found and how we fixed it.

- Pete, Cumulus TME

   - What specific issues are you having with BGP running under Cumulus
   Linux.
- bgpd crashes
- bgpd loading as hell after some time (can be fixed by restarting the
process ..)
- cumulus by itself (switchd & portwd) loads as hell as well, all the
time, the hardware is under pressure all the time (which is an issue for
CPU-based stuff : monitoring, sflow etc)

   - What hardware are you running Cumulus Linux on?
5712-54X-O-AC-F from edgecore
(https://www.edge-core.com/productsInfo.php?cls=&cls2=&cls3=44&id=15),
which has specific issues by itself as well :/

   - What version of Cumulus Linux?
The last one, 3.5.2

Bof

I currently use cumulus's software, I will then report my experience:
not production ready

You have a lot of features, with a fast development, but ..
I expect my network to be a rock solid part of my infrastructure,
especially when I am using the classic part, not the fancy ones

When I have huge stability issue with something like bgp, what can I say
but "get away from those software, it is not production-ready yet" ?
