Quagga is great for smaller implementations, but it doesn't scale very well. It eats up a lot of CPU, so once you hit a certain number of BGP peers, it may start intermittently flapping BGP sessions, or even just crash the bgpd process entirely. Although, I don't recall whether or not the newer versions support multi-threading for dual processors now... -Rob -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Frotzler, Florian Sent: Thursday, April 21, 2005 4:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Getting a BGP table in to a lab Hi, Zebra is outdated, the successor is called quagga (at least on debian) and is capable of providing most of the vendor C BGP features, though MD5 autentication is still experimental I think. We used to push a handful of BGP full feeds on our quagga router and it didn't stumble a bit. OSPF also works quite well, btw.
