At work, we're considering the idea to replace the presente router with a stardard box with CentOS as a SO and GNU Zebra as a routing software. The line is a 4Mbps SDSL.
¿What do you think about Zebra and what are your experiencies with it?
if you're used to working with Cisco routers, the interface to zebra/ quagga should look pretty familiar.
quagga seemed to work pretty well in applications requiring RIP and BGP (i can't remember whether we configured any OSPF) on a network testbed.
don't use zebra; use quagga instead.
rather than running CentOS on your router, though, have you considered using a specialized firewall/router distribution? something like OpenWRT (http://openwrt.org/) or m0n0router (http:// inf.imelda.be/downloads/m0n0wall/m0n0router/) (even though it's not Linux-based) might be simpler to maintain.
