I think you'll find it much better. http://www.vyatta.org/downloads We just completed some pretty heavy BGP testing with this version of code and the numbers were impressive (published report soon) This version will Beta in March and complete QA and be published as a community release mid April.

We are getting 2 BGP full tables without problems .... the tables is getting a bit slower that with 100/1000Mbit connection. So the difference there is the speed of getting the table and multihop. But could that cause a "Hold Timer Expired" problem? I’m maintaining one (bgp multihop) environment with a 10 Mbit upstream and a 2 Mbit upstream where we are using quagga 0.99.5-5etch3.

Quagga crashed when i tried to import the global table. Please try openbsd and openbgpd and foregett quagga. Quagga crashed when i tried to import the global table.

Keep OSPF to just advertising the loopback and interface addresses. Gives faster convergence and better route stability.

However he is not redistributing the full table from BGP into OSPF. But that has stopped being best practice for a long while now.

Hi Haakon,

is the Microtik used in an OSPF/Full Table BGP Environment used?

He uses it as his ISP (couple of thousand users). A friend of mine swears by Microtik (sp?). He uses it as his ISP (couple of thousand users).

There are some hints on the net, that MTU could cause some trouble .. but changing it on the quagga side, breaks OSPF, since the other OSPF peers all have 1500 set and quagga is complaining about different MTU of the OSPF peer.
