<p>What do you think of <a href="http://quagga.net" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Quagga</a> compared to XORP as a dynamic software routing engine? What are the technical merits of each engine comparatively? Additionally, what do most people think of them from a programming view. Who has manipulated networks using these enginers? I was wondering from an OSPF, routing, BGP protocol user's perpspective. </p>
