Hello Nick, Your email is pretty generic, the likelihood of anyone being able to provide any actual help or advice is pretty low. I suggest you check out Vyatta.org, its an Open Source router solution that uses Quagga for its underlying BGP management, and if you desire you can purpose a support package a few grand a year.

Hello Everyone,
We are running:
Gentoo Server on Dual Core Intel Xeon 3060, 2 Gb Ram Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06) Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 03)
2 bgp links from different providers using quagga, iptables etc....
We are transmitting an average of 700Mbps with packet sizes upwards of 900-1000 bytes when the traffic graph begins to flatten. We also start experiencing some crashes at that point, and not have been able to pinpoint that either.
I was hoping to get some feedback on what else we can strip from the kernel. If you have a similar setup for a stable platform the .config would be great!
Also, what are your thoughts on migrating to OpenBSD and bgpd, not sure if there would be a performance increase, but the security would be even more stronger?
Kind Regards,
Nick
