I thought I'd make a separate thread on this than the announcement thread.

How ready is rc1 for OSPF and BGP? Is this essentially stable? ie, though there may be missing features, is it actually stable.

I have some very specific hardware in mind, the Netpower 16P. We use these as tower switches with a router-on-a-stick design and I'd love to start testing these as hardware accelerated routers.

I am really curious to, because this is the most important function for us.

Maybe the routing status page can be updated?

netpower 16p is the same as CRS318-16P-2S+

You can see in the list here, that it supports HW acceleration:
