I have posted thos off-list, for the list: http://www.lannerinc.com/DM/FW-7550_DM.pdf pros: cheap, cf-disk support, low power (~50W)
cf-disk support is pretty easy to add to lots of things. With the advent of 4GB compact flash modules and CF-to-IDE adapters, it is not too hard to avoid rotating media...
OS: Freebsd: pros: very stable, quagge runs very well, fastforwarding support,
quagga OSPF needs a patch on FreeBSD 7, else it will decimate your OSPF environment.
simple traffic shaping, interrupt less polling supported
Several different traffic shaping strategies are available, and I think all of them go far beyond "simple".
cons: only 1 route for each network, vrrp failover is not easy to implement with quagga and ospf, no multipath routing
carp seems easy to implement, even with quagga and ospf. At least, it's set up on a lab setup here and everything appears to work as expected. ...
