Wednesday April 12, 2006 Random ramblings
Wednesday April 12, 2006 We've put up an OpenSolaris Quagga project page. The focus to be mostly Quagga-on-Solaris, but also some of the related ON work done by Alan Maguire on enhancing routeadm - bringing SMF to both the existing traditional SUNWroute daemons as well as Quagga.
We're also hoping to put up a mini-roadmap, of potential things that could be worked on to improve Quagga and userland side of routing on Solaris. E.g. improving configurability is one possibility. Input on this, when we have it posted, would be great! Or even before. 
Quagga added to Coveritys' scanner
Coverity have added Quagga to their list of open-source projects they scan for defects with their static analysis tools. 66 bugs found, one a false alarm so far, but mostly lots of dumb annoying bugs in (typically) infrequently used or strange-usage code paths. Look for the count to go down to 0 over the next while. 
colmmacc has some updates on the HEANet T2000. First off, he's tried out Solaris Express and straight away got an extra 3k request/sec, for 18k req/s. Small bit of tweaking and the T2000 was pushing over 20k request/sec. Next, Colm's tried Sun9v Ubuntu Linux, getting 15k req/sec.
See Colm's Niagara category for all his postings on the subject.
