Does anyone known which open source BGP implementation I can get running on Mac OS X Leopard with a minimum of fuss? This is for experimentation only (not for a production environment) so I am not too concerned about scaling and performance. If any tweaking is needed to get it to compile / run on OS X, a pointer to a website with instructions would be highly appreciated. -- Cayle.

Zebra works fine, too. I use it all the time in my training courses. I suggest running the configure script with an alternative path, though, this way Zebra/Quagga and the OS don't get in each other's way.

Hi, More than definitely possible for Quagga on Mac OSX, a company here in the UK run their network on Mac Minis. http://www.fubra.com/blog/2007/04/first-mac-mini-bgp-routers-on-worlds.html Kind regards, Alex Cruz Farmer

Actually, I could be wrong here, I believe that they may run their Minis using Ubuntu, rather than OSX. Apologies!
