We currently only use the OSPF protocol in Quagga to manage redundant fault tollerant VPN links (Currently there are 40 tunnels in the backbone managed by quagga+ospf) between 6 sites across the globe. We will be testing the interoperability of quagga shortly when we deploy Dell layer 3 switches (Running OSPF) as the core switches of our 2 largest sites. Tom
