The Linux Letter: Open-Source Networking with Vyatta
,----[ Quote ]
| A Linux-Based Router
|
| I've always said that a Linux box is quite capable of being a powerful
| router/firewall, and my viewpoint has been borne out by the large selection
| of routers available at your local office supply store. Many of them either
| run Linux or can have a Linux image loaded to replace their stock firmware.
| While I'm not suggesting that one of those home routers will be suitable
| replacements for the Cisco routers in your office (though strangely enough, I
| often find them at my clients' offices in that role), it wouldn't be out of
| the question if the home routers had higher throughput and supported advanced
| routing protocols

California city connects with open-source networking
,----[ Quote ]
| Reliance on open source has been inexpensive and stable, says IT
| manager for Madera, Calif.
|
| [...]
|
| In Madera's case, two Vyatta Inc. routers that run on the Debian
| GNU/Linux-based open-source operating system helped Wheeler consolidate
| routers in the city's data center last year. By eliminating eight Cisco
| routers that needed upgrading in order to accommodate additional traffic, he
| said he saved the city $16,000, spending about one-third of what he would
| have spent on the Cisco router upgrade.
|
| In a more dramatic money-saving move, the city did a complete network upgrade
| to implement a voice-over-IP system based on Asterisk, an open-source PBX
| system from Digium Inc. in Huntsville, Ala. The Asterisk VoIP system cost
| about $120,000, whereas a Cisco system would have run about $400,000, he
| said.
