But it doesn't really involved (in a direct way) in packet forwarding, that's true. Juniper did a great job with this router. Just take a look at T640. It's a beast and it is controlled by a FreeBSD box. Nice to see. BTW, I wouldn't call JUNOS a rewrite of FreeBSD. They just (re)implemented the needed functions and kept what was suitable in FreeBSD. AFAIK this wasn't much kernel space, but user space.
