With regards to security of OpenBSD versus Linux, you shouldn't be exposing any services to the world with either. And it's more stability/configuration that would push me to OpenBSD rather than performance. And with regards to crashing I'd try and figure out what was happening there quickly before making radical changes. Is it running out of memory, is Quagga dying? Is there a default route that works when Quagga crashes? One issue I had was I found Quagga crashing leaving a whole lot of routes lingering in the table, and I had a script that'd go through and purge them.
Hi, We've been running a small AS with BIRD on Linux(debian) without any issue in two years of production on two software routers so far: http://bird.network.cz/ It uses less than 100MB of RAM per IPv4 DFZ, we run around 100 BGP sessions in 350M of RAM (process virtual). Looking glass developper by our members: http://lg.tetaneutral.net/prefix_bgpmap/gw+h3/ipv4?q=meh.net.nz http://lg.tetaneutral.net/summary/gw+h3/ipv4 Sincerely, Laurent http://tetaneutral.net http://as197422.peeringdb.com
