Hi Kevin,

I didn't see any replies, but I'd be interested if you got anything of
substance off list.  I've only briefly looked at using their software,
since they do make available their distribution.  It looks like its
based off zebra, maybe quagga, but I don't know the extent of what
they've done development wise.  I've only briefly brought their 6.0
alpha code on a VM to take a look at.  I think I had problems with
their 5.0 code in a VM, but that could have just been me.

You might also take a look at Quagga/Zebra, BIRD and OpenBGPD.
