[AusNOG] routeros v Vyatta

[Nathan Brookfield]

Alex,

Vyatta would tick all of those boxes for you in the Community edition, the only thing RouterOS has on Vyatta functionality wise is really MPLS/VPLS and a few other minor protocol support wins.  Web GUI wise and Winbox/Dude wise Vyatta does not come close to touching the sides BUT throughput wise, as you can use VMXNet I've pushed 1.5-2.0 GBit's without any jitter or packet loss.

Vyatta for the core and RouterOS for the edge if you're going to stay in software, that's my proven suggestion.

Hi

Been using routerOS for nearly 6 months, like the interface and cost :)

But I am now running into limitation in routing speed, I can't seem to push them past 1Gb/s running them on ESX 5.5 with the e1000 driver, I am looking into trying the e1000e driver there is some hope I might be able to get more than 1G.

So I come back to the list to find out if people have been using Vyatta and how they find it.  How does it compare to routerOS.

Key features I am looking at

OSPF
BGP ... including filtering etc etc
Firewall
Routing
