We're just doing some preliminary research and I wanted to ask a few questions for those of you here. How many are running OpenBGPd? Is OpenBGPd the "ideal" platform for BGP on FreeBSD? I've know of Zebra and Quagga but was told that OpenBGPd is the way to go. Anyone have any comments? And finally, does anyone have any suggestions or bits of knowledge that would be helpful for us? This is our first venture in to BGP and if there's anything you wish you'd have known when you started, we'd love to know too. Have a great day everyone, and thank you in advance for the responses.
