FreeBSD used for Internet Infrastructure

  • BSD has existed since the last 1970's and was the testbed and reference implementation for TCP/IP.
  • The Internet Software Consortium (ISC) uses FreeBSD exclusively for f-root domain servers (in 21 cities now, usually with 3 servers per city).
  • Modern FreeBSD is extremely refined and mature.
  • FreeBSD consistently placed at the top of the "uptime" lists produced by Netcraft to measure the stability of the world's busiest websites.
