Gitoyen is a Local Internet Registry. The current routing solution is
based on Linux with Quagga running OSPF and BGP. All routers runs
Linux from USB flash drives but we think that FreeBSD could be much better
with OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD. My mission at Gitoyen is to be able to route
about 2Gbps at 190 kilo packets per second using opensource softwares...

First of all Quagga, OpenOSPFD and OpenBGPD only handles routing information. Packet forwarding is done in the OS. (But if you have lots of routing updates the routing software could matter)
A way to higher performance under linux could be:

Anyone looing at supporting the netfpga card on FreeBSD?
I would love to do that project myself, my time is scarse right now.
