Vyatta Logo Vyatta, an open source networking software and hardware specialist, has announced the release of version 6.0 of its Linux-based router and firewall software.

The commercial Subscription Editions of Vyatta include full support and priority bug fixes and start at $747 for a year. The Vyatta Plus add-on is an additional $205 per year.
