Re: IPTABLES Questions: CISCO-style routing?

Are you asking if _iptables_ can do routing or if _Linux_ can do routing? Linux as a whole can do almost everything that a Cisco router can do (I say "almost" because I don't know absolutely everything that Cisco can do these days).

Here's a good place to get started: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_router_or_firewall_distributions

Just a general question.

I know I can build IPTABLES to do security, firealling, stateful packet inspection... but I've had this nagging question: Can it do routing (IP routing) the same way CISCO IOS can ?

I'm looking for an easier-on-the-budget solution to some of my business' routing issues.

Thanks in advance.
