That apart EIGRP is the default protocol on the routers and is patented. IOS is a mangled version of the BSDs. In a previous era when mem was a constraint it would have been useful. Today a 1GB usb would allow a full blown distro to reside on a router. > _can't_, it just doesn't have the hardware support). ??. U can use a run of the mill x86 box. The useable bandwidth is 25mbps on the PCI bus. So with suitable interface cards that would make a decent router. Not to mention all the other goodies that u could addon.
