I'm looking for an open source router solution, and someone from the list recently recommended zebra (www.zebra.org). I haven't yet identified all my needs, but I'm guessing that it will do all my routing needs for a, say, class C set of IP addresses, particularly if I ever have to do anything BGP-related.
Anyone have any pointers before I delve in? Or possibly a recommendation for another open source routing solution? Yeah, I know about Cisco stuff, but I'm hoping to limp along on a shoestring budget until I get a few more things in place, then I'll rethink everything.
CentOS / Red Hat distribute quagga which is a fork of zebra. Same interface, which in itself is almost 100% cisco syntax. You could also check out Vyatta .. they make open source routers .. not sure what their pricing/features are though.
