Vyatta Software Subscriptions

Vyatta software tightly integrates enterprise-class routing, security and traffic management to deliver a flexible, affordable open networking solution.

Vyatta software includes support for most commonly used LAN and WAN interfaces (DSL to 10GbE), industry standard routing, security and management protocols, plus all of these features are configurable via a familiar command-line interface (CLI) or web-based graphical user interface (GUI).
