Research networks (e.g., vBNS and CAIRN) are ie: http://www.iprg.nokia.com/products/ip400/ The 'IP440' is a PC-based, FreeBSD operated router. Although, they don't advertise it but in their press releases. (Thanks to Malartre for this link : http://www.lmi.fr/c12565ef002d29ae/996ef68a9fd10db3c125669e00311b6a/129d72353914ed45c125669c0028b1c6?OpenDocument (Sorry, once again in French). Anyway, the IP440 casing is horrible. This leads to another question : I'm looking for a box designer, owning Gerbers, able to build a 1U, 19inch rackable PC-based system.
