Features:
Improved performance -- Routing protocols. A formula used by routers to determine the appropriate path onto which data should be forwarded. The routing protocol also specifies how routers report changes and share information with the other routers in the network that they can reach.
Border Gateway Protocol: The routing protocol that is used to span autonomous systems on the Internet. It is a robust, sophisticated and scalable protocol performance improvements of between 70 to 80 percent.
Experimental support for multicast (1) To transmit data to multiple recipients on the network at the same time using one transmission stream to the switches, at which point data are distributed out to the end users on separate lines. routing and IPv6.

Features:
Vyatta offers hardware and open source software for enterprise-level network infrastructure.
Vyatta can turn any 32-bit x86 machines with at least one network interface into a network appliance that handles routing, firewall, and VPN tasks.
The company released Vyatta Community Edition 4 in April, with improved scalability and feature enhancements.
Large enterprises now have a low-cost alternative to proprietary hardware like the Cisco 7200.
Most of the things that you can do with a Cisco box, you can do also with Vyatta software, and, unlike Cisco IOS, you don't have to worry about a Vyatta software license, which saves you at least $1,000 compared to comparable Cisco equipment.
Vyatta supports several types of network interface hardware, such as the common 10/100/1000 NIC, V.35 cards and, in this version, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, bringing Vyatta to the enterprise level.
It supports standard network protocols such as RIPv2, OSPFv2, and BGPv4.
For routing; PPP, 802.1Q, MLPPP, Frame Relay, HDLC, GRE, and PPPoE for encapsulation; IPSEC, L2TP, PPTP, and RADIUS.
For security; DHCP server/relay and NAT for IP management.
VRRP and VPN clustering for high availability.
MLPPP and ECMP for load balancing.
priority and classful queuing for QOS; and a stateful inspection firewall. Because it uses standard protocols.
Vyatta can interact with network devices from Cisco, Juniper, and any other vendor whose products also use network standards.
For administration, Vyatta includes an integrated command-line interface that can be accessed through Telnet and SSHv2.
To ease network troubleshooting, the tcpdump and Wireshark packet sniffers are also included.
To keep a record of log or monitor events, Vyatta offers Syslog and SNMPv2c support,but not the tools themselves. To gather information through syslog, you can easily use free syslog servers like Kiwi and use Nagios or MRTG to gather information via SNMPv2c.
The biggest change in the latest release is a redesigned shell called FusionCLI based on the bash command shell.
It looks like the previous version's XORP shell, but is more powerful and will simplify future development.
FusionCLI is different from the Cisco IOS CLI, but will feel familiar to those using the Juniper OS CLI.
Other features new to this release are remote access VPN, WAN link load balancing, ECMP, PPPoE, role-based user access, and tunnel interfaces.
Improvements in this release include the routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, and BGP), DHCP client reliability, and additional QoS traffic shaping mechanisms

Features:
Improved VPN Security with OpenVPN
VC5 supports OpenVPN, a popular open source VPN technology that provides high levels of site-to-site and remote access security and great interoperability even in the presence of NAT, which protocols like IPSec find challenging.
Enhanced Security via Intrusion Prevention
Vyatta has also increased security by supporting intrusion protection system (IPS) and traffic filtering based on the inspection of traffic content. VC5 detects intrusion attempts using intrusion signatures and network-based detection mechanisms. VC5 also prevents malicious behavior by dropping packets associated with a detected attack.
Improved Performance with Web Caching and Ethernet Bonding
VC5 helps overall network performance by decreasing WAN bandwidth requirements using web caching. The system can now be configured to act as a web proxy server for web caching, eliminating the need to retrieve the same data multiple times for separate clients. Ethernet Bonding allows users to group multiple parallel Ethernet links together into larger virtual links, improving both performance and network reliability
Support for Network Access Policies via URL Filtering
Vyatta supports administration-based website blocking through URL filtering. Acting as a web proxy server for URL filtering, VC5 determines whether a requested URL is in a category marked for blocking, and if so returns an error message to the user
New Web-based Graphical User Interface
VC5 delivers a new web-based GUI using a familiar hierarchical configuration model. The GUI offers a full complement of configuration and monitoring capabilities, giving network administrators full access to VC5-based systems using a web browser.
Enhanced DNS Capabilities for SME Environments
DNS forwarding and Dynamic DNS support allow small or branch offices to connect to the Internet with a minimum of extra infrastructure, reducing costs and complexity.
Improved Virtualization Performance
Vyatta has worked well in virtualized environments for years, but VC5 adds optimized network interface and mass storage drivers that improve performance for VMware and Xen virtual machines.
