Great news! Congratulations!
(Patched versions of openbgpd to include 4-byte AS support can be found at http://www.potaroo.net/tools/bgpd/)

This is especially good news as there are two independent open source BPG implementations supporting this! My question: How robust these BGP programs are? are they used and how widely in production use? I am askint this because I may be asked to provide alternatives to commercial routers in certain sites which should be doable in BW sense, at least. Normal PC can handle several 1G ethernet connections without a problem.
