juniper merely uses freebsd as a framework. all route processing, and
anything to do with routing, is extreme

Folks have been asking about XORP in this thread.
XORP can take a full BGP feed just fine as long as you have enough
memory.; for a full default-free-zone feed, you are looking at in the
region of 1GB - 1.5GB, perhaps less if you use aggregation.
If you look at the NSDI '05 paper you'll see t

Technically no, they've been updating large portions of the FreeBSD code
over time.

In the current release, yes.
Would you like a router based on 5.x? :)
