any plans on implementing BGP and NBAR in the near future? I dunno how much processor would be needed for them, but for a perimeter router, I think most people could handle one big machine, for the added benefits.

There are no immediate plans for implementing BGP at this point in time, though it will be added to our list of things to research for future versions.

Thanks

Before I can answer that, I first need to know what the heck it is first. ;)

hahaha I just found out about it yesterday, its Network Based Application Recognition -- Here's a little about it http://certcities.com/editorial/columns/story.asp?EditorialsID=76

Google it and you will find all sorts of info. It looks like a great idea to me, the only drawback i can see is it seems like it would need a lot of processor.

Thanks for the information. I was planning in implementing something similar. I'll see what can be done! It would be very handy to class specific types of traffic, and possibly throw them in a shaping queue, or block them all together. Neat idea, but it would take a little horsepower to process every packet, depending on the number of rules used.

Thanks!

I smell some neat features drifting along in the wind...

How about competition for Packeteer and Ellacoya? ;-)

NBAR-ish support would be really neat, to track KaZaa/Morpheus/Gnutella signatures, and apply appropriate rate shaping, regardless of which port they're operating on.

As for OSPF/BGP, just add Zebra, some memory, a fast processor, and stir.

We will have RIPv 1 & 2, OSPF(v2) and BGB (4, 4+) available in one of the next few releases for the Router and Server Editions, and RIPv 1 & 2 for the CPE Editions.

Thanks!

This new suite will make quite a few people quite happy. Initial testing shows good results so far.

Thanks!

I was just starting to input my static routes and was going post some questions about how many (or which) routes I had to put in after the main router.

With the new routing protocols in the latest version, would someone like to give me some input as to what changes now and the best way to set up a routed network?

For ease of use, try RIPv2 first. Use RIP at each unit and it will talk to neighbours and announce what it can see. Subnets should propagate through.

I still like static routes but they get a bit tedious when you have a few hops to go through.

We will begin converting our network over the next week. We'll let you know how it goes. This is new territory for us as well. It should be easy.
