I like this idea as well. I would be willing to test both VyOS and Cloudrouter if you need an active service to test with. Specifically I am looking to test IPv6 since I provide IPv6 /64 spaces to my customers and I am having to provide it via an external router at the moment which has a lot of manual configurations.
Let me know if I can help in anyway. -----Original Message----- From: Will Stevens [mailto:williamstev...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2016 7:21 AM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] Replacing the VR Ya. If we go this way, I like the approach of building the integration and putting it through its paces as a stand alone VR before we consider replacing the old VR and making it the default.
