Thanks for clearing it up, I was still confused what Mikrotik's OS had to do with it. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Tue, Dec 29, 2015 at 1:29 PM, Owen DeLong <owen () delong com> wrote:
In fairness, when I first looked at the page, I was confused too. It said it ran as a “Router OS Process” which made me think that it was somehow a virtual router that ran inside the Mikrotik operating system known as Router SO and I was scratching my head going: A: How can that possibly work? B: Why would you want it to? Now, realizing that the guy probably made an honest mistake without realizing he was using someone else’s trade name in the process, it makes much more sense. Confusing, but in the end, much ado about nothing[1] all around.

Also, there's potentially a confusing association between the two. I'm glad the terminology was removed.

I'm assumingthatthe person who complained about that didn't read past the first sentence and just wanted to troll. It's obvious to me that decades of work have gone into this free router software, and the term router OS was justbeingused to describe what the software does - an OS for a router. It looks to me like the author has a deep understanding of networking to be able to implement all this from scratch and I think we can learn alotfrom reading this code. He's also giving it away for free, which ishardto argue with. -Laszlo On 2015-12-28 18:28, Mike - st257 wrote:Date: Thu, 24 Dec 2015 22:23:24 -0600From: Josh Reynolds <josh () kyneticwifi com> To: mate csaba <matecs () niif hu> Cc: cs () nop hu, NANOG <nanog () nanog org> Subject: Re: announcement of freerouter Message-ID: <CAC6=tfb4=DmpXBgG159NH-p+uTxa+uwf3vOrB= rsS8T6YQ7Fsg () mail gmail com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 RouterOS is an existing product by MikroTik. Mate Csaba's message had nothing to do with MikroTik RouterOS (fromLatvia, which doesn't include IS-IS support). And Mikrotik RouterOS isn't free. ;-) Why was this response about RouterOS? (Am I missing something?) The posted presentations/slides touch upon the feature set of FreeRtr (which is similiar to MT RouterOS, but which many production-readyNetworkOSes have). http://freerouter.nop.hu/present.html And CLI output examples: http://freerouter.nop.hu/present.html On Dec 24, 2015 9:46 PM, "mate csaba" <matecs () niif hu> wrote:hi,pleased to announce a stable release of freerouter.Neat.this is a routing daemon that does packet handling itselfso it can do bridging, routing ipv4/ipv6 unicast/multicast, mpls, vpls, evpn, mpls te, mldp, segment routing, and so on... speaks a lot of routing protocols like rip, ospf, isis, eigrp, bgp, babel... does a lot of tunneling like gre, ipip, ipsec, l2tp, geneve, vxlan, nvgre... have a lot of built in servers like dns, http(s), smtp, pop3, telnet, tacacs, radius, ssh... it can start external images which could be connected, so various lab topolgies can be easily created. our nren uses if as primary fullbgp rr for more than a year for about hundred routers. here is the homepage: http://freerouter.nop.hu/ feel free to try it out and send suggestions/bug reports...:) thanks in advance, csaba mate niif/hungarnet
