Gleb is doing the same, and so am I. However you are not. Do you run BGP in your network?
I'm not running an ISP that is multiply connected to at least two metro-area NAPs and has multiple upstreams at both sites, no. I would be very interested to be involved in the network management of a medium to large-sized ISP, however.
At least for me on FreeBSD Zebra has been very stable for me. There is no need to always "change" things.
That's wonderful for you. However, that doesn't change the criticism that Henning has levelled at zebra/quagga.
What is you point? Do you use Zebra? Are you affected by it? Or are you just ranting?
My point is that zebra/quagga have significant limitations that restrict their usefulness, due to the design of the system. Moreover, the development on zebra has effectively stalled since the author got hired away to do that kind of work professionally, and development on quagga has apparently been sporadic and relatively limited, presumably due to the fact that they don't have replacement developers of the same caliber.
If we want to get to the point where we can have a reasonable expectation of throwing away all cisco, juniper, Foundry, and other routing hardware and replace them with something that is easier to install, configure, monitor, and manage, then I think we need to be looking beyond zebra/quagga.
And you should stop flaming anyone if you haven't ever used or done what you are blabbering about.
If you think this is flaming, then you have never seen flaming.
At this stage, this is nothing more than a luke-warm disagreement.
Sorry, but OpenBSDs bgpd wont to any of that either. This is mostly hardware that needs to be redundant. Not much you can in bgpd.
Not in bgpd per se, no. But by then you'd have added more protocol support to the daemon and that name would no longer be appropriate.
