Anthony,
Olives are just computer running JUNOS. Juniper routers essentially have two
components:
Routing Engine (RE) and Packet Forwarding Engine (PFE). RE interacts with PFE via an
NIC (Inter EtherExpress). These Olives are essentially either FreeBSD or OpenBSD that
can be installed on a PC (they have to be run on Intel EtherExpress NIC) to simulate
pretty
much everything you want (i.e. RIP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP, MPLS, etc...). A very fine
product.
Am I correct?
