how many times can you spot the letter h in:
q: multihomed bgp linux router im in the process of researching solutions for a new network location rollout.
we are going to have two providers one on 100mbit and 50mbit commits..
im wondering what linux solution i could build that could handle that much traffic.
and also how it stacks up against say a cisco 2821 with upgraded ram..

a: linux box on a decent hardware can handle traffic of few hundreds mbit/s without problems.
for bgp under linux there is not much choice - quagga.

a: pfsense. its freebsd not linux, but if its just a dedicated router machine, shouldnt really matter.

a: im not sure why pqd said that theres no choice for bgp routing. personally i heard about zebra but never about quagga...
