In terms of FOSS routing platforms, I think Vyatta has a better user interface than Mikrotik.
IMHO if the CLI is awkward then there a higher risk of misconfiguration.
I haven't used either enough to comment about stability.

...not that I'd like to revert this to Mikrotic vs _vendor_, but *all*
Mikrotic-specific hardware that we have deployed has always accepted a
custom install of FreeBSD & Quagga, that boots directly from the same
type of media that the Mikrotic OS originally came on.
fwiw, the Quagga interface is very friendly to those who know Cisco.
I am not sure is it suitable or not that I ask this question here.
My question is about "Tilera", a new multi-core processor provider, however,
they call themselves "Many-Core" to separate from RMI, Cavium, etc.
Tilera claims that their processor have a 2D mesh so they can put more
Cores(from 36,64 to 1K) in one Chip, while Cavium only with 1D bus, so
Tilera think they have a much higher performance.
My question is:
1 Is it true that Tilera revolutionarily improve the performance of
multi-core(or Many-core) processor?
2 If you make the choice between Tilera and Cavium, what do you prefer? Why?
There's been plenty of "multi-dimensional" processor interconnects over the
years. You should do some further research.
The original poster totally failed to answer the single biggest unasked
question - "What problem are you trying to solve with a Tilera?". There's
large classes of problems that will run much better on a Tilera chipset. And
there's plenty of workloads that will totally suck on that hardware.
1K cores on a chip. All hanging off one memory interconnect. I think
that about says it all right there.
(hypercube-connected O2000, anyone?)
No thanks, I got like a half dozen of their ilk already.
