I know Steve and I speak from experience running isp's, I have personally run large carrier grade solutions on open source stuff. From firewalls, to proxies to mail servers, monitoring systems, radius, billing, private clouds, routers etc. I have probably designed some of the largest networks around so this is not a blind debate. And yes some people use torrents for legitimate reasons. Imagine a media house for starters. Yes it's also an opportunity to offer services like this, and yes I know people intending to do just that and others who can but don't. Oh and yes you can write a firewall too. It's all in good fun. I still insist we are way of topic as far as assisting @tusker is concerned. I don't see how a request on which firewall to buy becomes how ISPs should offer their services.

What about packeeter that also runs on RE clone? How many use these devices because they have no freakin' idea that they too could have developed on the TCP stack. So please, allow me the chance to insult intelligently. For a better
Case closed, let's all go write firewall code and be intelligent.
I'm through with this thread, I hope it's over.
