LinuxDevices.com technical editor Jerry Epplin
takes a
look at SnapGear's uClinux-based VPN appliances from the perspective of
a developer's ability to customize them. "
With the impressive
improvements made in uClinux in the last couple of years, it has become
increasingly practical to implement the networking capabilities of Linux in
a small-footprint device. Perhaps the most obvious network-oriented devices
for which uClinux is appropriate are firewall/routers, which need all the
latest protocols and capabilities, but are in a highly competitive
environment in which cost is paramount."
