Call me stupid, but I am running a cascade of two Leaf routers and I would not even start to consider joining them. That said, I have been running them on the same host lately (VMware). That is because I've run out of old small sized boxes and everything I can get my hands on is hugely

Gordon, Call me stupid Never! I'm relieved to hear that this proposed solution is running at least one other place. I had Leaf running on VMWare for a long time, but I moved it off of it not because of performance issues, of which there were none, but only because I didn't want to lose

I'm considering chaining two Leaf Routers together, one to handle the multiple ISPs and one for TC as a temporary solution, How does this solve the 2.6 requirement? Erich, The basic issue is I can't use HIGH_ROUTE_MARKS=Yes in Shorewall. As a result, I can't do both Multi-ISP and Traffic
