You are asking to revive a ten year old discussion?

PF has been ported. The FreeBSD project did so years ago.

As to why other router OS teams have not, your best bet would be to ask those developers. This forum is for BSD users primarily, and few developers from any OS post here.

I could guess, if you like. But all it would be is merely conjecture. I'd mention the non-advocacy culture of the OBSD project, the alternatives like IPF already being available, the lack of either awareness or interest on the part of other OS teams..... But like most OBSD users, I don't care very much. If I need a router or a bridge, I choose OpenBSD.

If I need a large Oracle engine, I choose Solaris or AIX. If I need a smartphone I choose Linux.
