It's also probably worth mentioning that Zebra is being developed in an extremely active and proactive fashion, and the principal developers are extremely open to contributed feedback and code. Zebra's BGP seems pretty good and stable right now; the OSPF work has apparently received a lot of attention recently, although I haven't tried it. One of the nice things about zebra is the way that each routing protocol is neatly compartmentalised into a separate daemon. This makes it simple and easy to maintain individual protocols (or add new ones) without jeopardising others.
