Vyatta: Open source telecom

Om Malik writes about Vyatta, a open source startup building an enterprise class router that will compete with Cisco products.

The versatile open-source application can direct data traffic for a giant corporation as easily as it can manage a home Wi-Fi network. And that’s what makes it as disruptive as a leaf blower in a feather factory: Vyatta’s router will cost about a fifth the price of comparable models from big networking equipment makers such as Cisco Systems.
