With software, it's much cheaper to divide and scale horizontally. Hardware devices are expensive and usually horizontal scalability never happens. So in reality, an enterprise blows 100k on two routers, they both flop because of some "firmware bug", and you're down.With this in mind, I am keen to understand how many implementations of packages such as Quagga and Zebra that the group use. With the likes of Vyatta being discussed, I am keen to see if products such as Quagga as still regularly used as it used to be.I think that the original/upstream versions are out of date as compared to the one maintained by Vyatta. Or Google (for their MPLS processing needs).

We are actively supporting Quagga. We currently have a git repo at code.google.com with some BGP multipath updates, and are working with ISC to provide SQA on that branch. Hopefully more features will be forthcoming. Search quagga-dev if you're interested in more details.
Vyatta has done a lot of great work on Quagga, as have many others. It would be nice to see all the various useful branches merged into a cherry-picked mainline that would simplify the Quagga development community's lives considerably.
