[AusNOG] routerOS ... used to be RE: Cross Connect Pricing & Peering POP's

[Patrick Cole]

Alex,

My understanding is that the mikrotik dynamic routing code is/was based on quagga.  
I've used Quagga on Linux for BGP and OSPF quite successfully in the past.
There are bugs, but they seldom show up in regular use cases.
