With this in mind, I am keen to understand how many implementations of packages
such as Quagga and Zebra that the group use. With the likes of Vyatta being
discussed, I am keen to see if products such as Quagga as still regularly used
as it used to be.
I think that the original/upstream versions are out of date as compared
to the one maintained by Vyatta. Or Google (for their MPLS processing
needs). See
