Any recommendations for full table routers. We don’t need more than 10G.
I used Debian + FRR on HP proliants. With startech Nics with intel
chipset. Unusual, but did the trick. Help that there was a whole
stack of the same hardware running services in the same place. They
take a while to boot, but you can make it faster and I think the newer
variants are better.
Software wise, takes a bit of getting used to. Sometimes conflict
between FRR and what Debian wants to do for network setup. Also you
can use CAKE :) Also run any scripts or monitoring you want onboard
(like counting the BFD flaps per hour to watch the problems that go away
and come back very quickly)
See also distributions that bundle FRR more specifically for networking
rather than a general distribution.
