Vyatta: Open-Source Network OS

Advanced routing, firewall, VPN functionality for servers, virtual machines, and hardware appliances with a flexible and modular architecture

What is Vyatta?

Vyatta is an open-source network operating system based on Linux that provides enterprise-grade routing, firewall, and VPN functionality. It can be deployed on standard x86 hardware, virtual machines, and cloud platforms to connect physical and virtual networks.

Key features of Vyatta include:

• Advanced IP routing protocols like BGP, OSPF, and multicast routing
• Stateful firewall, NAT, and zone-based firewall options
• Site-to-site IPSec VPN capabilities with advanced configurations
• Modular architecture that allows customization of networking stack
• Management through a command-line interface or web GUI
• Support for network automation and orchestration tools
• Available as a virtual machine image, hardware appliance, or software package

Vyatta is designed to provide the same advanced networking and security services as expensive proprietary routers and firewalls. Its open-source model provides flexibility in deployment options and the ability to customize for specific needs. The modular codebase allows components to be added or removed as required.
