Comment BGP on BSD is more useful for IP Anycast (Score 1) 241
For those who think that BGP is useful just on routers have some catching up to do. When doing <a href=http://www.nanog.org/mtg-0310/miller.html> IP anycast</a>, it is essential to have some kind of dynamic routing protocol working on the anycast hosts. The host constantly need to communicate their reachability to the router facing the rest of the world. If the host goes down when there's a satic route, the traffic is null routed.
Thus the resurgence in development of quagga after forking it from zebra. OpenBGPd, i am sure will have more IP anycast nodes running it then someone running it as pure edge routers.
One of the most important reason for BGP to work on host based system i
