Zebra Linux Router
Anyone using the Zebra Linux Router? It looks very promising to be able to do OSPF and BGP4. I looked at FREESCO for its ease of setup/admin, but it is really only a NAT/Firewall/DCHP server.I want to get a second Bandwidth provider in my current colo, and they said "sure, no problem", but now a BGP router is a little steep in $$$. I want to BGP between my current Bandwidth (which went down last night for 50 minutes) and another transport in the same facility. So I'll have a primary provider and my current provider will become secondary. They claim to provide BGP4 aggregation of 3 tier one providers, but last night only 1/3 of their "BGP4" network went down. If they were truly BGP routed, we'd never have seen a thing.
I'll be asking for some QoS refunds tomorrow, and shopping for another host. I just need access to my servers and co-loing out of town isn't an option, and local loop here is $2500/month for DS-3.
