Rob:

Thank-you for the kind comments about GateD.  I will forward them
to other GateD developers, especially Jeff Honig who is now at BSDI.

Netstar is GateD Consortium member.  We have been jointly working
with Netstar on adding additional features to bgp.
John Scudder has also been helping with this effort to enhance GateD.

I think you will find the Netstar engineers very insightful as we
have.  A few of the engineers will be present for a technical
discussion during nanog.

Their additions to the gated product have enhanced the
existing gated package.   The next release of GateD will
have this new software.  Other additions to the next releases of
gated will be:

	- re-written ospf to reduce the memory requirements,
	- gii - a cisco like command interface,
	- utilities for bgp monitoring, and
	- test tools.

If anyone is interest in GateD membership or redistribution
licenses, I encourage you to contact me.  If you are interested
in additional information on Netstar, I can also refer you
to Netstar people as well. 

Please use either:

gated at gated.merit.edu or
skh at merit.edu. 

www.gated.org or www.merit.edu

I'll be glad to give additional pointers or phone numbers
to individuals privately.
