I'm interested in the possiblity of using BSD code as the IP forwarding engine, interfaced to commercial versions of routing protocols such as OSPF. This is all using VxWorks on a PowerPC. The target is a rather high performance router capable of upto 10,000 routes. I've heard that BSDs TCP/IP is just about the fastest around, so I thought I'd take a look at it. A thread from about two years ago indicated that BSD as a router is certainly possible, but this seemed to be system running the full BSD operating system, not just the router code. Has anyone ripped out just the BSD routing code to build a router on top of another operating system? How much effort is involved? I'm new to BSD code, but on the face of it, the routing code seems pretty tightly coupled to the kernel. Any thoughts? ...cj Christohper J.
