     @7666 this guy routes. I had to use something similar @ uni for networking class and it was fun

     @7666 I like how Mikrotik is just shamelessly ripping off Nomadix green scheme (fuck Nomadix)

     @satsuki A lot of that is underutilized. We now have the challenge to carve out and sell what we bought. That cost includes a full rack and multiple 10Gb connections.

     @satsuki Oh geez I don't know, but we blow $3,000 a month on upkeep.

     @7666 What are you doing? A GNUbooted KGPE-D16 with 10GBASE-T cards is less than that.
     
     Of course it'll do BGP with free software too.

     @7666 I wrote "10GBASE-T cards", when I should have written; "SFP+ 10G cards", which of course 10GBASE-LR will go into.
     
     DC environments are absolutely proprietary.

     @Suiseiseki Also upon further review I can tell you've never been in a DC environment before because all of my uplinks are 10GBase-LR

     @Suiseiseki @7666 You should try that, routing to the whole Internet with over decade old opterons at speeds over 10Gb :)

     What are you expecting when you're using a proprietary OS?

     @Suiseiseki I just told you that BGP should be done in ASICs. Call me when someone makes one that is 100% free. Holding a full route table on x86 via opnsense has been a remarkably terrible experience on a full dual socket enterprise server.

     Every single BSD contains many unlicensed files and many proprietary programs without source code in the default install.

     its no use , he makes up his own definition of what "free software" is based on his current point . ask him if he uses openssh lmfao .

     Ah yes, some nice "free software" in the default install of NonFreeBSD (which opnsense uses);

     Very interesting "src" tree, considering that it contains object code without the source code.
     
     Yes, the GNU/Linux version of openssh is actually really software, thus using it is acceptable.
     
     It is one of the very few actually decent programs from the BSD's.

     @7666 @fiore I reckon that was the fault of lack of programming skill from BSD developers (which is to be expected from proprietary software developers, who are so incompetent they cannot keep the licensing in order and put proprietary software right into the default install).

     @Suiseiseki @fiore yes it was clearly the nvidia ARM chipset licenses causing the entire thing to hang reloading route tables
