NimbostratusF5 dynamic routing (zebos) and interoperability/compatability with other vendors?
Any of you who have already performed tests or have seen published reports regarding interoperability/compatibility between the dynamic routing which F5 can provide (through zebos according to http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_ltm/manuals/product/tmos_management_guide_10_1/tmos_routes_dynamic.html) and other vendors?
Or for that matter have experience from bugs/non-compatiblity issues where the dynamic routing (BGP, IS-IS and/or OSPF) have been used towards a F5 unit (and was that the F5 fault or the other device fault)?
By the way - have anyone heard if and when zebos will be available through the GUI aswell (or for that matter why it isnt already available in the GUI)?

Your last point is perhaps a fair one; I suspect as ZebOS isn't F5's software it won't ever be.
I've not used this module but I don't think I've ever seen a DC post around interoperability issues. These are all standards based protocols and ZebOS is used in many other devices and software platforms and has been around a long time. I'd imagine if you did suffer any issues these would be related to vendor proprietary add-ons and there, you've only yourself to blame.

only had limited experience but that worked fine. as what lies beneath mentions routing protocols have pretty much reached a level were device interoperability isn't an issue anymore.
