Hi,
I'm about to get my own AS to be able to get good redundancy from 2
ISP (Fiber + DSL).
Since a cisco solution is not really cheap i'm wondering how a similar
solution could run on OpenBSD.
Requirements:
- Load balancing
- Failover
- Throughput (i know we should talk in pps...): 20Mb/s (soon to expect
50Mb)
- Rock solid solution
Do you think an openBGP/openBSD solution is viable considering those
requirements ?
Thanks
Laurent,
I invite you to google and read through the misc@ archives, where this
question has been rehashed a million times. The short answer is yes;
read the documentation. I, and many others use OpenBSD in [very]
high-traffic, redundant, and often times complex network environments.
If you read through this *entire* thread, it should answer nearly all of
your questions with regards to the capabilities of OpenBSD:

... though any remaining questions have probably already been asked and
answered before in the archives.
If, after reading all of the documentation you are still not able to or
confident in your ability to implement or manage an OpenBSD-based
network infrastructure to support your company's needs there are a
number of folks that can provide commercial support, many of which
either lurk on this list or are listed here:
