This was discussed today at Linx 68. Linx is very pleased with Bird - they could not get Quagga working due to load issues.
With large numbers of peers, the update processing can cause the program to hit his peer HoldTime Timer (with a domino's effect as well).

EuroIX is sponsoring some work on Quagga to get the KeepAlive management moved into a separate Thread.

During the discussion, a developers of Bird said that their filtering code _may_ still have bugs (when performing community based filtering).
