And that userspace is based on a really old version of FreeBSD.

Or maybe that’s Citrix.

Were you thinking of Checkpoint (Nokia) IPSO[0]?

The earlier versions were based on FreeBSD 2.2.6.

Recent F5 systems are running CentOS 6.

Centos 7 starting around version 14.

Way way back they used to be on BSD. Then they moved to centos for cough cough cough (possibly NDAed) cough cough.

It's not a huge deal which because the host OS isn't anywhere in the dataplane.

Citrix Netscaler does use Freebsd, not sure which version off the top off my head.
