> JunOS (historically) is based on BSD. They're moving to Linux now.
Do you have details on this? Given how active they are in the FreeBSD community, I would have thought to have heard about that already.

QFX5100 runs a Linux KVM hypervisor with the traditional FreeBSD based Junos running as a guest. Same with the new x86 based SRX (SRX1500). There are more moving to this model.
The x86 based SRX is the most interesting with the forwarding daemons running on the hypervisor OS and the Junos based VM is just for management and protocols. It's not that hard to see that management and protocols can be easily ported.
There are more details that are locked behind an NDA.
