Anybody working with Quagga for production peering with multiple peers

Free Range Routing (FRR) forked Quagga a few years back.  I would say it
is the new Quagga.

But either flavour handles multiple peers and full routing tables / DFZ
with aplomb.

VYOS was Quagga, but now incorporates FRR, and is a good routing workhorse.

PfSense, too.

<= Used by players as the bgp speaker on edge network nodes. Article is
of the 'famous' experiment from last year. Were use of an experimental
BGP code. Caused FRR bgp speakers to crash. The code error was since be
corrected as an emergency hot-fix.
