Router - VyOS: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

[https://www.vyos.net/ VyOS] is an Open Source router operating system built on top of Debian Linux.

Rather than having to configure lots of different software packages, everything is control through a single configuration file and it uses a command-line based configuration interface, similar to Juniper's ~~JunOS~~. It is based on Vyatta (as is Ubiquiti's EdgeOS).
