[Xorp-users] XORP versions

[Mikael Johansson]

We are evaluating using XORP in a network of about 500 routers, some
of which would be XORP routers. There have been some concerns about
stability in our organization. Our internal testing has noticed that
XORP routing processes sometimes die in situations
where processor load is high. Is there something that could be done to
increase stability, except to make sure that routing processes get
enough processor time? Should we use the latest XORP release 1.4, or
the most recent CVS version? When is XORP-1.5 being released? We are
using multicasting, OSPF and BGP.

With regards to features, the most critical is the lack of
virtualization, because we need to run two or more OSPF processes
which are completely isolated from each other. This can probably be
implemented in Linux using Xen. Have there been efforts to get XORP
running in a virtualized environment?


Best regards,
