What's difference (*currently*) beetwen FreeBSD+Zebra and Cisco routers?
Support for VRRP? Support for various other routing protocols not covered by zebra/quagga -- at least not yet, if ever? Support for line cards and other devices that do not exist in a format you can plug into a PC?
Maybe there's nothing you can do about this last item, but there's plenty that can be done on the software side -- just take a look at all the protocols that have been identified as being desirable, but not yet implemented by zebra/quagga.
Oh, and then there are all the operational issues where zebra/quagga can't keep sessions going when a neighbor flaps, etc.... Those would require re-architecting the whole routing system, at which point it might make a lot more sense to go with a different implementation -- such as bgpd from OpenBSD.
