Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG The question is actually about Internet routing.So far I have seen most of the medium-sized hosts \ge 200 machines use CISCO machines for routing.Yet fbsd claims to be the OS expecially suitable for Internet services and has some of the routing protocols in its suite of programms(I believe I have seen routed and gated).So the first question is:Is it true that fbsd or with some constraints of PC-architecture(not enough network interfaces)in mind nbsd are not widely used for routing purposes?If the answer to the previous question should fall in affirmative:What are the reasons? If not and my subjective impression is false where can I see some statistic about succesfully installed routers based on fbsd/netbsd?
