Rather than exhaustively trying to compare and contrast (sounds like a great job for the community!), here are the key features of CloudRouter as well as the project goals. Use this information in making your own decisions as to the best tool for the job at hand.
- The CloudRouter Project was founded by a group of open source industry veterans, and initially sponsored by IIX Inc, the global software-defined interconnection company. The Project is a response to industry demand for a secure, high-quality SDN and router distribution which enables migration to the cloud without giving up control over network routing and governance.
- CloudRouter is engineered for the cloud. It is designed for public and private cloud deployments.
- CloudRouter was initially conceived with containers in-mind. As this emerging technology continues to evolve, CloudRouter will adopt and support new container formats.
- Security is priority 0. A security response team was present from the beginning, and the team continually monitors, reports, and resolves issues as they arise. In fact, the head of the Security Response Team for CloudRouter is also the security response lead for the OpenDaylight Project, and the ONOS Project.
- CloudRouter is a Fedora Remix. This decision reflects the project goal to rapidly incorporate the latest developments in the Linux, SDN, and NFV communities. The CloudRouter Project aims to make these new technologies available to the community as quickly as possible, thus further increasing the velocity of new innovation.
- Lastly, the CloudRouter Project is working closely with these emerging technology leaders with the goal of delivering higher quality, increased functionality, and increased stability on a much shorter development cycle.
