Open source on the wire
While it would be difficult to find any infrastructure component that does not leverage open source code, one spot where it has yet to leave its mark is the network.
But companies and projects are challenging that with full-fledged, open source routing platforms built on Linux or FreeBSD and running on standard x86 hardware, Paul Venezia explains in Open source on the wire.
"When all is said and done, there’s little argument against using open-source routing and firewalling tools in most any network, as long as your admins are comfortable with the technology."
