theoretically there is a lot of BGP software. None of gets used as a route server except BIRD, because nothing else can handle the full IPv4 BGP mesh.

- ZWoz 8y agoI used OpenBGPD it first around 2012. In moment I have OpenBGPD instance with 4 x full table, so that "nothing else can handle the full BGP tables" isn't simply true. Thats not forwarding instance though, I use it as looking glass.
- throwaway2048 8y agoHandle the full BGP table while serving as a route server. OpenBGPD devs themselves admit it was inadequate at that role, mostly because adding filters was incredibly inefficient, as well as RIB updates being super slow (in a relative sense).
- dsl 8y agoI have been doing full tables using Quagga in production, in multiple regions, for years. The thing BIRD does well is being hardened against untrusted users having access (the route server use case). I'm very happy to see a second implementation that has this focus as well.
