Dear Frederic,

Thanks for the detailed explanation.

We are an ISP in India. We are looking for BNG/BRAS which can work on x86 
machines. Currently we are using a DPDK based BNG which is working great, but 
it is a one man show company, so cannot depend him always.

We do not have resources for R&D to try, rather we are looking for some one 
who can really help us to put things together. 



Regards



Muhammed Ali

Hi Muhammad,

RARE/freeRtr is an R&E project conducted under the umbrella of GÉANT 
Association. (https://geant.org/)

Our mission is to:
Create an open source routing platform that would fullfill R&E use case(S).

Each use case requiring inherently different speed, more or less 
functionality and respective TCO, Therefore, we realised that having the 
possibility to « hook » different dataplanes to freeRtr control plane was a 
natural decision. 
(Thus having TOFINO P4 and DPDK data planes mainly for situation where 
throughput is requireed)

The project reached such a maturity that we think that it is the right moment 
to share it more widely publicly.
For now, we have no commercial offer with respect to software maintenance as 
such for non R&E organisation.

We are basically providing the support you would expect from an Open Source 
project that started in 2019.

Are you a R&E organisation ? Or does your project is for an R&E organisation 
? 
If yes, we can report your interest to GÉANT Association attentionl and 
appreciate how we can cooperate more closely with your local NREN.

Thanks for your feedback,
Frederic
