"Vyatta" which makes a personal computer a high-performance broadband router capable of withstanding business applications

The enterprise software router "Vyatta" made from open source has been developed from the beginning for business purposes rather than for individuals,Cisco 7200More than price and performance etcI have 10 times the advantageAnd in Australia, it is proved to some extent also in the test by a third party agency, and we say that we can reduce the cost by 75%.

It certainly seems to have appropriate functions, such as routers, firewalls, VPN etc are possible. It also works in Xen and VMware virtual networks. Although it is open-source and free version of "Community Edition", it is stated that provision of pre-compiled binary and bug fixes etc will always be done every 6 months, we also have extensive support from paid like Redhat We provide it properly.

So, actually I tried to make PPPoE connected broadband router using this Vyatta. All you need is a PC with 2 NICs (network cards). It is surprisingly easy to enter commands by inputting commands in order, so it is recommended for those who want to have a high-performance broadband router that has PCs left over.

For details on how to install "Vyatta" and how to set it as a broadband router, please see below.
