Dear Eugeniu,
OS:
Freebsd:
pros: very stable, quagge runs very well, fastforwarding support,
simple traffic shaping, interrupt less polling supported
cons: only 1 route for each network, vrrp failover is not easy to
implement with quagga and ospf, no multipath routing
Linux:
pros: more than 1 route for each network possible,
interrupt less polling should be supported?
fastforwarding ?
cons: no multipath routing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Are you sure ? Because there is an option in the kernel, under
advanced routing setup to enable multipath routing.
And also, with iproute2, you can add multiple gateways with
different/equal weights for a specific prefix
Multipath, yes, but flow-based, not per packet.
There exists a patch for 2.4 kernel, but not for 2.6
Or tinker with iptables.
Kind regards,
Ingo Flaschberger
