Quagga and OpenBGP
All, I cannot still see the logic as to why Quagga is part of the OpenBSD ports tree when it has OpenBGP at all in the default install? The documentation of OpenBGP tells us that it is far superior in design as compared to Zebra/Quagga. Side comments? dems

See it as Service and Advocacy. Some People still use stuff like that, same thing as you need to know about Windows AD, it is a heterogenous world - some may like using zebra/- quagga just because they know it. Sometimes there aren't objective reasons .. even in IT, cheers, teemu P.S.: you're totally right with your second sentence ;) -- Don't be too proud of the technological terror you have constructed -- D.

The documentation of OpenBGP tells us that it is far superior in design as compared to Zebra/Quagga. Side comments? BGP isn't the only reason you might use Quagga. I use it for RIP since routed doesn't have any method of enforcing what networks are learned from what gateways. I've got a couple machines that need to send me a limited number of routes, I know exactly what those routes are, but not which of the gateways will send it and have never figured out a way to restrict that in the routed config. I haven't looked at openripd (or whatever the new RIP daemon is called) yet, but plan on it before our next upgrade to see if I can ditch Quagga. --Bill

Re: Quagga and OpenBGP
Quagga is not only a BGP routing software, it's a collection of many routing daemons. The syntax is almost comparable to the Cisco syntax, which makes it possible to let Quagga-routers be maintained by almost everyone who knows to handle Cisco products. Nevertheless the OpenBSD port of Quagga is out of date and has no support for TCP-MD5. So if possible, it's probably a better idea to use the OpenBSD routing daemons on OpenBSD systems as long as no-one seems to actively maintain the Quagga port for OpenBSD... -Flo -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Demuel I.
