I agree... I have around 75 peers on a box that actually does the routing running quagga, and there appears to be no problem. My only issues have been with version upgrades having bugs in them, but those problems are due to my inadequate testing. I also utilize supervise scripts (daemontools)to keep all the The best feature is being able to use the same route maps I use on my cisco boxes.

Quagga is great for smaller implementations, but it doesn't scale very well. It eats up a lot of CPU, so once you hit a certain number of BGP peers, it may start intermittently flapping BGP sessions, or even just crash the bgpd process entirely.

For what numbers? I've two quaggas, ~150 peers each, doing as-path and *full* prefix filtering for each peer (Config is around 9MB). CPU is idle 99.x% mostly ... Arnold -- Arnold Nipper, AN45
