Well, of course my question is too vague. Typically, I would be interested to know if people use FreeBSD boxen as routers, firewalls, for bandwidth management / QoS, service load-balancing (like LVS for example) or that kind of stuff in an ISP environment. In which cases people prefer FreeBSD to a dedicated hardware, why and on which scale. (why you prefer a FreeBSD box to a 3660 or 7200 for example and for which usage) I know lots of things can be done but I would like to hear real life examples.
