This is especially good news as there are two independent open source
BPG implementations supporting this!
My question:
How robust these BGP programs are? are they used and how widely in
production use? I am askint this because I may be asked to provide
alternatives to commercial routers in certain sites which should be
doable in BW sense, at least. Normal PC can handle several 1G ethernet
connections without a problem.
