If you're trying to do this cheaply, I'd recommend an appropriate sized Mikrotik router, and perhaps something running digium's transcoding hardware/Asterisk, or some Adtran hardware. Don't put all this in one box. Andrew On 12/26/2013 11:33 AM, Nick Cameo wrote:
Hello Everyone,
We are looking to put together a 2u server with a few PCIe 3 x8 (recommendations appreciated). The router will take a voip transcoding line card, and will act as an edge router for a telecom company.
For things like BGP (Quagga, Zebra, all that lovely stuff!!!), static routes, and firewall capabilities we are thinking gentoo linux stripped for sure however, what about the BSDs? FreeBSD or OpenBSD. Any comments, feedback, does, and don'ts are much appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Nick.
