Case Study: Merula Limited achieves high-performance, lower-cost ISP edge routing with VyOS

Merula Limited cuts BGP convergence from 10 minutes to 4 seconds with VyOS

Merula Limited, a prominent ISP, faced performance bottlenecks and exorbitant costs with their previous Juniper MX104 routers. Their challenges included slow BGP convergence times of roughly 10 minutes and a mainstream replacement cost exceeding $500,000. Seeking a cost-effective and high-performance alternative, they turned to the VyOS network operating system.

By implementing VyOS on commodity hardware, Merula achieved remarkable results. The solution drastically reduced BGP failover time from 10 minutes to approximately 4 seconds and cost only $45,000. VyOS provided Merula with a standardized, high-performance network infrastructure capable of handling full routing tables and future 100G interfaces, all while offering exceptional support.
