In my case it has nothing to do with whether or not millions of people use a particular OS but simply that I am constrained to Linux for this project and it is non-negotiable. So I could use that as an excuse to ignore OpenBGPd but I think it's a nice BGP implementation and I think it may be a nice implementation on Linux too, or maybe not, that is the reason for my questions here, which have been answered very well by Claudio and Henning and others. Thanks, Barry
