Hi, Recently we built a walled garden solution where the box needed to peer with a couple of hundred Juniper boxes. I did testing with quagga 0.99.15 and bird. Finally I gave up both and went with perls Net::BGP.
The reason for giving up quagga being an fsm race condition that seems solved in 0.99.16, but at the time of testing I used 0.99.15: http://code.quagga.net/?p=quagga.git;a=commitdiff;h=6e1992638864c3847d35bf9442989bce4c81de13;hp=2b2fc5606f035eabd322b3a6aad4349efb9ab542 There was also another mishap with both bird and quagga that I failed to track down. If I remember correctly it was working when I set one end up as passive. Time was running out for me, so I went with perl. Quagga 0.99.16 seems promising, but it might be safer to go with bird/openbgpd since it's used at ixes (eg should be working). Another neat thing about using Net::BGP is that you can customize the route server a good deal. Please note however, that Net::BGP does not fork, so your callbacks must be very fast in order to avoid timeouts. You could of course also just modify it to do a fork per peer.
