fwiw, I've also heard good things about bgpd(8) and ospfd(8), but I
haven't tried those either...zebra/Quagga just stuck.


OpenBGPd would be great for a public route server at an IX.


Be cautious when doing filtering. bgpctl will hang for minutes, even
hours. Otherwise OpenBGPD seems to be very performant.

Quagga does not really behave well with lots of peers (lots >> 200), but
there will be an optimized route server version soon.

BIRD seems to do fine.




Best regards,
