Which indicates that your mentality is "anyone who says anything is better than freebsd for any purpose must be trolling". That sort of rabid fanboyism doesn't make for productive conversation.
FreeBSD includes a very old, partial port of PF. Even CARP which is very simple is missing functionality in FreeBSD. And as I already mentioned, bgpd is fully integrated with PF and routing domains in openbsd, it isn't in free (which doesn't have routing domains).
>I'm just amused by your comment given that FreeBSD's network stack has vastly superior performance and support for far more 10GbE interfaces.
Did you have some data to support that claim? I've seen no such benchmarks, and the only 10gbe driver freebsd has that net/open haven't pulled in that you can actually purchase hardware for is broadcom, which is broken and can't even do 1gb in reality. All 4 BSDs pull in hardware drivers from each other all the time. The great thing about the BSD license is that when one project does some great work, everybody else catches up quickly. :-)
