- Mikrotik ROS 2.9x was Quagga-based (you could do a telnet 127.0.0.1 2601, for instance) ; - Mikrotik ROS 3.15 was XORP-based according to Mikrotik; they told that to a customer that was facing issues with that version ; - On the Mikrotik wiki you can find info that PIM-SM Multicast code is from XORP, although they don't say on the wiki that BGP or OSPF were XORP's ; - The minutes long CPU-hog was a bug described at Vyatta forums while they were using XORP, and suddenly the same bug appears on a multitude of Mikrotik ROS versions. The proof is left as an exercise for the reader. Has been XORP part of ROS at same point ? Pretty sure it was. Is still XORP-based on 4.x, 5.0rc ? I don't know. Educated guess: XORP up to 4.something, something else on 4.later or 5.0rc. Rubens -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
