Hi,
We are not strictly an ISP but we are using FreeBSD+Quagga on our VPN
routers. We currently only use the OSPF protocol in Quagga to manage
redundant fault tollerant VPN links (Currently there are 40 tunnels in
the backbone managed by quagga+ospf) between 6 sites across the globe.
We will be testing the interoperability of quagga shortly when we deploy
Dell layer 3 switches (Running OSPF) as the core switches of our 2
largest sites.
Tom
