Hmmm...... the last time someone brought this subject up (hmmm mid July 
this year or so I think) it resulted in a 200 message thread. At least 
it felt like that. :)

Anyway the thread was pretty informative. Check the archives for details. 

Check out quagga, xorp, click (a ucla project). Vyataa has evidently 
changed from Xorp to Quagga for the control plane if I read the messages 
and changelogs/release notes correctly.

Feel free to post back with what you find or if you need additional 
resources. I'm sure others will post as well and give ya an earful :)
