BIRD might be a bit more popular than OpenWISP. We know about 13 links to it since March 2021 and only 11 links to OpenWISP. We are tracking product recommendations and mentions on various public social media platforms and blogs. They can help you identify which product is more popular and what people think of it.
Is this something similar to OpenWISP? It all sounds cool, but might be an overkill for small installations… [0] https://openwisp.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

At one of my previous employers we wrote some custom software to interface with Quagga. Seems like Quagga has fallen out of favor for things like BIRD. We use our software to monitor for various things and dynamically adjust the path prepends to "shape" the traffic and cause the multihomed traffic to push to different datacenters around the globe.

* [1] https://bird.network.cz/ I'd actually love "enterprise raspberry", some small machine that we could shove 3-6 of them in 1RU, but once you add enterprise tax and all of the doodas to make it manageable (OOB management), it gets expensive enough to rival "just an old server". - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Currently Wireguard handles all of my VPN connections, but I used OpenVPN and IPsec in the past. I run multiple paths through my VPN network and use BGP to handle the preference and failover between them. I am using BIRD instead of the included OpenBGPD, because I also have some Ubuntu machines that also run it and wanted consistent configs between them but OpenBGPD should also work well.

You can run dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or iBGP over Wireguard. It's not built in, but that's a feature, not a bug—do one thing and do it well. I have a full mesh of Wireguard tunnels configured between home/office/datacenters/laptop, and run bird[0] on the VPN endpoints to direct traffic between them.

I've spent a lot of hours these past few weeks in the docs and codebases for Cilium, Calico, BIRD, MetalLB, PureLB, Longhorn, CephFS, and Rook. Do I understand 100% top-to-bottom how those systems work? No. Do I understand "enough" of how those systems work to produce a good solution to the core business problem we're trying to address? Yes.
