Does anybody currently use vyatta as a bgp router for their company?
The days of public-facing software-based routers were over years ago - you need an ASIC-based edge router, else you'll end up getting zorched.
How do you come to this conclusion? I think a software-based router for enterprise level (let's say on the 1G per provider level) can handle a fair amount of zorching. I checked the Cisco and Juniper docs and neither vendor is anywhere near releasing their anit-zorching ASICs. Mike
