Quagga & OpenSourceRouting April 17, 2012

Martin Winter [email protected]

Who is OpenSourceRouting? •  Started late summer 2011 •  Non-Profit Organization •  Funded by Companies who like an Open Source Alternative www.opensourcerouting.org

Why we need this •  Quagga has L many issues: –  Stability (bugs), Performance, missing features

•  Too many branches: –  Quagga Mainline, Euro-IX, Vyatta, Google branch, private branches –  Development & Testing resources spread very thin

•  But: Quagga is still VERY popular
