I've used a number of Linux routing thingies (BIRD, Quagga, VyOS/Ubiquiti, OpenBGPd, ExBGP), and FRR is (for me at least) by far the friendliest. It's trivial to spin this up on a cloud VM and start announcing a prefix.

For doing something like Anycast though (where you are mostly just announcing a route on demand), ExaBGP is great.

Doesn't VyOS simply use Quagga?

I know best subjective, but I'm looking at a project to announce some IP space
that's between uses now and see what's there.  I'm planing to run a flow
logger and ntop on the VM and see what is coming in if anything.  I'm looking
at the options for BGP out there, and there's quite a few (other than running
a VM with a router doing BGP), but most data I've seen is focused on scale and
filtering use, or RPKI.  My use case is a bit different, and I can't find any
best practices for this use case from what I've found.

That said, is there a better solution other than linux/ntop/ipt-netflow?
