RevK's blog has a lot of interesting posts on it.

He also runs an excellent ISP in the UK called AAISP which I can highly recommend (https://www.aa.net.uk)

AAISP build their own core & customer networking devices/routers from scratch (not Linux based) in the UK. They are fascinating to use - a completely different evolutionary tree to any other networking kit I've used. Some unique features.

Which kernel are they using?

Their site says:

- Every line of code in the firmware, including building an operating system from the ground up with device drivers and IP stack.

- The FireBrick's hardware platform is not used in any other devices and the FireBrick's codebase / firmware is not used in any other hardware.

Given the feature set I'm a little dubious that it's all in-house. There are a ton of man-years of code in there.

It would be interesting to know the history of the software.
