So this question goes somewhat hand in hand with my previous question about FOSS Load Balancing (<a href="http://fossfaq.com/questions/89/list-of-foss-load-balancing-software" rel="nofollow">http://fossfaq.com/questions/89/list-of-foss-load-balancing-software</a>)</p> <p>I have found two open source router offerings that are aimed directly at Cisco, Juniper, etc.</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://www.vyatta.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.vyatta.com/</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.xorp.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.xorp.org</a></li> </ol> <p>There other but they seem to mostly aimed at the home or SOHO router market - i.e. the Linksys/Netgear style routers you tend to use at home or a small business.</p> <p>Does anyone know of any others?</p> http://fossfaq.com/questions/103/foss-routers-vendor-project-list/104#104 Answer by sogrady for FOSS Routers - vendor/project list sogrady 2009-11-16T18:47:08Z 2009-11-16T18:47:08Z <p>Vyatta is the only option I'm familiar with, and it's well regarded by the folks that I know that use it. That said, stripped and customized *BSD and Linux boxes can be repurposed as routers, as the WR45T project demonstrates. </p>
