Just a quibble, but XORP has not be tested. Vyatta has. Vyatta 
incorporates XORP, and therefore by reference you should get a 
warm-fuzzy feeling that XORP would also pass, but according to the 
letter of our testing agreements with UNH it's improper to say that XORP 
has been tested at UNH.

Vyatta does indeed support VLANs.
