Alex,

BIRD is probably the best in show, take a peak at it to for sure.

I use Quagga and RouterOS as well as BIRD and for BGP it does it the best.

Hi

Wondering what peoples experience with router OS is. thinking about running in a VM and using BGP and OSPF.  First glance it looks like somebody has taken linux and added some apps and wrapped it into a distro of sorts

Also i saw mention a while back of somebody building a sw BGP setup. Wondering what solution they used. Quagga seems to have come up a few times in my searches

I run 10gb links out of a Dell 1950 with router OS (Can't be version 6) on it as long as you use an Intel 10gb card it is fine.
Production is running DAC HP Procurve sfp+ cables - I'm unsure what fibre modules would work for you however I did find one that worked but can't remember which one.
I can remember that HP Procurve, H3C and a Dell Branded Finstar did not work.

+1 for Mikrotik kit, interesting to see Emergency services here are using it as a backup MPLS over radio network... pretty fun stuff.

Daniel.

Also I am have to be corrected here but I am fairly sure the RB2011UAS-RM only has a single SFP cage, not even SFP+ and does not support that Optic or any other optic over 1G.

I believe you would need a Cloud Core router to support 10G and even so it's fairly experimental.

The CCR's are sexy little boxes, they'll do the throughput you need once you man handle the configuration into them!
