Why OpenBGPD? performance, security, reliability make use of tcp md5 and ipsec, current route servers cannot close contact between developers and decix improve filtering capabilities best path selection per peer, after filter? redundant route servers, using carp failover is not hitless (yet), as we cannot take over the tcp sessions, but it is reasonably fast goal: when the test server made everybody happy, use OpenBGPD route-servers at decix in production
