The Essential Guide to Open-Source Routers

,----[ Quote ]
| Examples of Open-Source Router Technology
| 
| A number of different vendors offer open-source router options. The major 
| players include: 
| 
|     * Vyatta: Vyatta software combines the features, performance and 
|     reliability of an enterprise-class router, firewall and VPN (Virtual 
|     Private Network) with the cost savings and flexibility of open-source 
|     solutions. Customers can build routing and security solutions using 
|     hardware of their choice for maximum control and flexibility.    
|     * Open Linux Router: Formed by a group of networking experts, the Open 
|     Linux Router project aims to create a network appliance that allows users 
|     to pick and choose what features and services will be included with the 
|     implementation. By scaling the features and services down, the Open Linux 
|     Router can easily be installed on a small, embedded device. If the 
|     implementation demands functionality, it is just as easy to add features, 
|     which provides the Open Linux Router with a wide and diverse demographic. 
|     Although still in its early stages, the project encourages open source as 
|     a viable alternative to routers provided by vendors such as Cisco.        
|     * XORP Inc.: Based on extensible open-source routing technology, XORP 
|     provides a fully featured platform that implements IPv4 and IPv6 routing 
|     protocols and a unified platform to configure them. XORP's modular 
|     architecture allows rapid introduction of new protocols, features and 
|     functionality, including support for custom hardware and software 
|     forwarding.     
|     * 3Com Corp.'s Open Services Networking: The Linux-based OSNM (Open 
|     Services Networking Module) is integrated with 3Com routers and switches 
|     to provide an open-service delivery platform from which a variety of 
|     software-based services can run. Facilitated by the module's open, 
|     flexible development environment, organizations are empowered to select 
|     and implement solutions from a varied list of developers.

| Got a spare server sitting around?
|
| Nothing fancy — 512 Megs of RAM and a 1.8 GHz processor will work fine.
|
| Now, want to turn that into a networking box? The equivalent of a Cisco or
| Juniper router with 1 Gbps capacity?
