[AusNOG] Software Defined Routers

[Ben Hohnke]

I know there has been a lot of improvements made to networking in linux
over the past few years, however I am very impressed with the Debian and
vyos results.
I'm interested to see if there is a difference between RHEL based systems
vs Debian based systems..

I am surprised at the results in regards to the Mikrotik offering - its
garbage!
