HPN design discussions page
FreeBSD
Pros
- All field deployments we have so far are on systems running FreeBSD; so we have great knowledge on its performance.
- We have far more than enough experience; hence turn-around for changes/additions are way too short, compared to Linux.
- Works great for wireless modes, like ad-hoc, compared to Linux.
- All tests done on arm/avila boards involved only FreeBSD and none on Linux.
Cons
- With regard to the HPN, none.
- Under-appreciated
