Been running foundry<->cisco BGP for almost 3 years now with only a single
major problem (cisco forwarding corrupted AS-PATH's to the foundry's), but
that was fixed about 9 months ago. (this was cisco ignoring the RFC)
We've been running foundry<->juniper BGP for about 6 months, and have
also had only one problem - watch out for ACL's on your juniper loopbacks.
If you are filtering non-bgp traffic, foundry does something that juniper
ACLs do not like, and from time to time the juniper may reset its
sessions. Opening up all TCP ports between a foundry and a juniper seems
to fix the problem. This does not manifest itself w/ foundry<->cisco or
cisco<->juniper, so it seems like some slightly non-cisco behavior on both
the foundry and juniper side. (gee, what a shock)
Overall, the foundry BGP implementation is excellent, and has been very
stable for us on everything from netIron stackables to NI800's w/ MM4's..
And of course, foundry does the cisco CLI better than cisco...
cheers,
