- Animats 10y agoYes. If only they'd offer that on consumer-sized routers. Surprisingly often, you find QNX running some important piece of infrastructure which doesn't get much attention because it isn't breaking very often.
- pinewurst 10y agoThe most recent (>5.0) versions of IOS XR are now based on a 64-bit Linux kernel.
- xyzzy4 10y agoInteresting. Even before that, you could run IOS XR with a Linux-based emulator called EnXR. It's useful for testing because you don't need to load the image onto a real router.
