The free software projects that you posted as examples are knd of pathetic compared to CISCO, and no, I'm not trolling. OTOH there is a small company doing Linux based router software. They design closed source frontend to Linux and also provide some interestiong closed source drivers. It's not a full open source but it is much better then CISCO in many ways. And it has lots and lots of customers including companies servicing some major USA airports with thousands of routers and tens of thousands of clients.
