I'm not looking for any additional features other than ospf. Am I best where I'm at or should I go with 4.2.73? I found the release notes on 4.2.73, and don't see any issues resolved, just a list of still-outstanding issues...
Mike Andrews would most likely be the resident Arc OSPF expert. :) I've played with it a bit when it was first available but decided not to break my current setup which is RIPv2 on the Arcs re-dist'ed to OSPF on the next hop Cisco.
4.2.32, 5.0.9, or 5.1.99 would be the releases I'd run. I never tried 4.2.73. 4.2.32 was pretty stable. 5.0.9 was VERY stable but had a SNMP memory leak that was annoying. 5.1.99 looks solid so far. I don't know if 5.1.99 ever fixed the OSPF bugs I ran into -- I finally worked around them by renumbering my network. The upshot of the problem was that the ARC tended to throw static/connected routes away in favor of OSPF-learned routes; the "connected" part of that was what was screwing me over badly. Explaining the specific problem would take longer than it would take to search the archives for it. :) But it still worked well enough that I banished the RIPv2 evil from my network years ago...
