The CloudRouter Project, a collaborative open source project focused on developing open-source collaborative virtual router, Tuesday announced the public availability of CloudRouter 2.0 beta that will be shiped with a full version of OpenDaylight Lithium, the latest open source SDN release from the OpenDaylight Project. The latest open source virtual router is the first major upgrade of CloudRouter ealier version (Beta 1.0) that was supported by CloudBees, Cloudius, IIX, NGINX, and OpenDaylight
According to CloudRouter Project, the key guiding features from 1.0 that are carried through in 2.0 are:
- - capability to run on public and private cloud infrastructures at scale with a fully-automated configuration system
- - container-ready, including support for Docker, Cloudius OSv, and KVM images
- - secure connectivity using standards-based IPSec VPN, SSL or L2TP
- - monitoring and reporting with integrated network protocol analysis for network detail at a fine-grained level
- - high availability and system redundancy with failover and synchronization
- - minimal resource consumption

I want to thank all the members of the CloudRouter Project who helped make the best possible open source router freely available to everyone. We've had all types of groups come out and volunteer to help, from major academic centers to global technology giants. We also know of a number of successful deployments by very large companies which we'll provide details on in the future.
Neela Jacques, Executive Director, OpenDaylight
It's great to see OpenDaylight Lithium adoption by the CloudRouter project so soon after the launch. This is a testament to the quality of Lithium code and improved engineering workflow. People that want to deploy Lithium can now get easy installation and tested components in the new version of CloudRouter.
