6WIND
6WIND is a company that provides control plane and data plane software on most Linux distributions. The software uses a XML based CLI, WEB interface and management framework named XMS. Their customer uses this software in order to design UTM security gateways, CPE, DSL, GPON, ToIP and 3G/4G routers. They use the 6WINDGate software for its Layer 2 and Layer 3 features integrated with Linux.
The list of protocols and IETF RFC which are supported by 6WIND into their 6WINDGate is available on their WEB site.
Moreover, 6WIND provides a dedicated fast software forwarding software for the multi-core CPU. It seems to be the first and fastest multi-core software that supports IP forwarding, Virtual Routing along with IPsec, VLAN, GRE, etc.
For instance, this data plane module is used on —XLR series CPU from RMI (Raza Microelectronics) (see XLR732), —Octeon series CPU from Cavium (see CN3860)

Security: DoS in bgpd if configured peer sends crafted packet
The bgpd daemon is vulnerable to a Denial-of-Service. Configured peers may cause a Quagga bgpd to, typically, assert() and abort. The DoS may be triggered by peers by sending an UPDATE message with a crafted, malformed Multi-Protocol reachable/unreachable NLRI attribute. Further details, and a proposed fix for Quagga 0.99 are available in Bug #354.
Quagga
Quagga is an IPv4/IPv6 protocol routing suite, forked from the defunct GNU Zebra open source router development project.
Quagga provides an implementation of OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIPv1/v2/v3 and BGPv4.
Quagga consists of a daemon that abstracts the underlying Unix kernel and presents a Zserv API over a Unix or TCP stream to a Zserv client, such as ospfd, ripd, ospf6d, ripngd, or bgpd.
Quagga also includes a tool called vtysh, which serves as an administrative front end to multiple daemons.
