Open Source, and a router? How can this be? We can’t expect this to be very secure now. Or could we?
Vyatta, an open-source router company, has released the first beta version of its WAN router code. The company is looking to challenge the likes of Cisco and Juniper.
Vyatta’s software is based on code developed by the eXtensible Open Route Platform (XORP), begun in 2002 as an open-source router software project. Vyatta’s code combines a modified Linux operating system with XORP and runs on standard x86 PC hardware. The vendor says it is targeting small business and mid-size enterprise branch office networks with a product that can cost 50 percent to 90 percent less than alternative mid-range commercial WAN routers.
