There was this interesting talk [1] about how this ISP uses OpenBSD as BGP control plane. I used to heard that OpenBSD was often used as Internet facing middlebox (like firewalls/proxy/network load balancer) because of how good pf and relayd are. But it would surprise me if it would still be the case nowadays, OpenBSD seems to perform poorly [2] in terms of network throughput compared to the competition (VyOS/VPP). And I don't think this 7.5 upgrade helped a lot regarding this topic. [1]: https://gregsowell.com/?p=7069

Nice little write-up. I found it interesting that OpenBSD outperformed Linux, but DPDK-based systems blew the roof off.
