To expand the opinion set, how do Quagga, Bird, exaBGP, OpenBGPd hold up for
handling Multi-Protocol BGP Route Reflector duties in a BGP/MPLS environment
for a smaller ISP? Quagga's documentation indicates that is does handle the
requirements. Any one able to offer up real life experiences? Or is it
better to handle in a physical router? We being C based.
I am using BIRD as a RR between a busy VRF and our core and will not change it until the PPS are over what the box can pass
EuroIX members were presented on a comparison of RR : ASR 1001 / 1002, Bird 1.3.6 / 1.3.7 / OpenBGPd - Quagga is not in the list as they do not use it , they migrated away from it after too many issues AFAICR.
They found that both cisco routers which are designed to be used as RR and BIRD were performing very well (even more when you look at what CPU is on those cisco routers).
