OpenBGPd would be great for a public route server at an IX. It's not so great for use in a network unless you run it on OpenBSD - FreeBSD has no metric attribute in it's routing tables, so next-hop IGP metric cannot be compared as the two daemons do not communicate directly at all. If you're on anything other than OpenBSD, I recommend Quagga. I can't comment on BIRD as I have no experience with it yet. XORP is also interesting, it's a more JunOS like interface. It's also some quite heavy C++, so running it on the tiny Soekris boxes that I had meant it wouldn't work for me. If you can spare the CPU and RAM then give XORP a go. -- Nathan Ward
