Has anyone seen the recent news about Extreme Network's "ExtremeWare
XOS"? As reported in Network World, it is Linux based and runs on their
line of BlackDiamond 10K Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switches. I could find
nothing on Extreme's web site about it, though.

NW quotes Extreme as saying "modifications were made in the Linux kernel
to improve the packet forwarding capabilities of the software, as well
as hardening its security...". 

They also say that "Extreme says that in accordance with the GPL, it
will be pushing its changes to Linux back to the open-source community".

I'm wondering what LEAF developers think about this?

The article also mentioned how pleased developers of the XORP project
were. There was a previous article posted about that project too. Can
someone tell me if/how XORP and LEAF are related? Do they share
resources or benefit from one another's work?
