a few suppliers could, pretty much yes, but inside it would be loads of opensource. Desirable? You decide!
If you are a service provider then you need to be secure, what choice you make to do that is yours, be it opensource or other direction; it’s a cost of being a service provider – this is increasingly a big topic for customers and the way I see this going (personal view) is that no matter your size TSR is going to have in impact.

Is there such thing as a COTS ISP infrastructure ? Can Cisco really sell you everything you need, integrated together, and with the flexibility to differentiate, with no Wireshark, named, quagga/zebra or similar ? I’m not sure how you could run an ISP without *some* of the mainstream open source software tools. Thanks John From: Neil J.

I use various pieces, such as:- • Many Raspberry Pi’s as jump boxes • Network Weathermap • Nmap • Ntop • Elasticsearch • Wireshark • Etc.. What are others using and finding useful?
