Fair question. As you know, almost every product has at least one irritating limitation that can drive you nuts (for example the later discussion about having to retype the vyatta config by hand) and those kinds of limitations or oversights are usually easy to correct, but only if you can add your own code! For the kinds of things we do here, easy flexibility and (preferably automated) re-configurability are key.
The imagestream looks good, and I see they are available used at pretty good prices. ----- Original Message ----- From: Travis Johnson To: Tom Sharples ; WISPA General List Sent: Friday, April 02, 2010 7:09 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] Vyatta? Hi, I'm curious what you would need to add or access on a "main" router? Shouldn't you just let the router "route" and put everything else somewhere else? Hardware is cheap cheap cheap now... why complicate and possibly cause conflicts on a "main" router? We have run Imagestream in the past, and it works flawless. We currently run a Cisco for our main BGP router, and then Mikrotik for a main edge router (to allow bandwidth limiting, firewalling, etc.). Both boxes have been flawless and not missed a beat in almost a year (since the last firmware update on each of them). I am now moving 300Mbps x 100Mbps through these boxes on a daily basis. :) Travis Microserv Tom Sharples wrote: We strongly prefer working with open-source / open-architecture solutions that allow us to add our own code and hardware as needed. That rules out Cisco. I see that Imagestream runs on Linux, do they give customers root access / ability to add scripts / modules in user space? How about MT in that regard?

I've heard of many WISPs using MT, Imagestream and Cisco as their core routers. Never heard of Vyatta. I've always liked following what works.

I'm intrigued by Vyatta and am wondering if anyone out here has any experience - good or bad - with them.
