Hi We're thinking of running Vyatta as our border router for Internet connectivity. We will be using BGP to peer with two different ISPs. We plan on getting the full BGP Internet routes from those two BGP peers. The two ISPs will be connected to one box running Vyatta. We plan to do this to provide our company with redundant(failover) incoming/outgoing Internet connectivity - and possibly do load-sharing between those two connections. The box will also be doing NAT.
Questions: 1. Has anybody deployed something like the above in a *production* network and has been running it for some time (e.g. 6 months or more) with no serious problem? The reason I ask this is because I just came across this web site: http://www.openmaniak.com/vyatta.php "We do not recommand to use BGP for the moment because of critical bugs with this powerful routing protocol. " And when I check the bugzilla, there are still indeed problems with BGP. So, I ask, for our requirements, will Vyatta do? I've seen the case studies at the Vyatta web site - but they are too "general" - some of them quite similar to our requirements but they are not giving enough detail. Anybody - can share their some of their experiences in using Vyatta for BGP on a *production* network? Thanks!
