[Sheflug] BSD Router Project



Hello there

Might be that some of you don't know about this. The author of FreeNAS 
has produced something else which is the BSD Router project...

http://bsdrp.net

"  Olivier Cochard-Labbé, founder of FreeNAS, has released the first
alpha (0.1) image of his new project: BSD Router Project - bsdrp is an 
open source, customised distribution of FreeBSD dedicated
to offering IP routing services for small ISP's.  The release 0.1 of 
BSDRP is a fully working prototype, to be used on real or virtual 
machines that boot from ATA device only (not usb). This first release 
includes:
- Base FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT system (NanoBSD) for i386
- Customized script (config, upgrade, help, command completion, etc…)
- Quagga ready to use (OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIP, RIPng and BGP)

You may ask, what is the difference between BSDRP and m0n0wall of 
pfSense. The main goal of BSDRP is not firewalling but routing. If you 
need a firewall don't use BSDRP: Use m0n0wall or pfSense.
BSDRP is not for a home use, but for compagny use (small ISP's for 
example). BSDRP doesn't have a Web GUI: It's to be configured from a 
CLI only (like Cisco or Juniper) pfSense can be used for routing, but 
Olivier wanted to set up a Cisco or Juniper like project just for 
routing. "
