Greetings all,
We are a software development firm that currently delivers our install ISOs=
via Sourceforge. We need to start serving them ourselves for marketing re=
asons and are therefore increasing our bandwidth and getting a 2nd ISP in o=
ur datacenter. Both ISPs will be delivering 100mbit/sec links. We don't e=
xpect to increase that for the next year or so and expect average traffic t=
o be about 40-60mbit/sec.
We are planning to run two OpenBSD based firewalls (with CARP and pf) runni=
ng OpenBGP in order to connect to the two ISPs.
I saw from previous email that Quagga was recommended as opposed to OpenBGP=
. Any further comments on that? Also, any comments on the choice of Open=
BSD vs. Linux?
I don't want to start a religious war :-) Just curious about what most folk=
s are doing and what their experiences have been.
Thanks in advance,
Marc Runkel
