Hi,

We're looking at using Mikrotik's RouterOS for some some sort of
software routing solution as part of our network in combination with
supervised layer3 switching doing most likely some sort of limited BGP.

Does anyone else here run it? Is it any good? Is it better than e.g.
vyatta?

Hmmm...... the last time someone brought this subject up (hmmm mid July this year or so I think) it resulted in a 200 message thread. At least it felt like that. :)

Anyway the thread was pretty informative. Check the archives for details.

Check out quagga, xorp, click (a ucla project). Vyataa has evidently changed from Xorp to Quagga for the control plane if I read the messages and changelogs/release notes correctly.

Feel free to post back with what you find or if you need additional resources. I'm sure others will post as well and give ya an earful :)
