I've been building cpe devices using various models from 
http://www.lannerinc.com.

I populate with Debian linux:.  I use pxeboot to autoboot into install 
mode with dnsmasq providing deb-install preseed build files.  On the 
auto reboot after o/s install, I finish up with consistent, documented 
builds with SaltStack.  This provides the necessary customized 
switching, routing, security, and monitoring.

With an FW-7543, I can iperf bidirectional 1gbps with no acl.  I can get 
strongswan ipsec bidirectional at about 50mbps (the cpu has AES-NI).  I 
havn't tried ipsec on devices like the FW-7573.

I can customize configs with various combinations of VRRP, 
FreeRangeRouting BGP/OSPF (full routes are no problem), nftables for 
ACL, lldpd, hostapd for wireless, openvswitch for bridging 
requirements/netflow/sflow ...

The linux kernel supplies uRPF.  FreeRangeRouting (a fork of Quagga) can 
do prefix filtering, ext-communities, etc.  They have even recently 
implemented EVPN using VxLAN for encapsulation.

I've used the FW-7543 in pairs to a customer for this:  a management 
port,  a port between the two, an upstream port, and a downstream port.

Linux kernel has VRF capabilities, or use namespaces or native 
containers for segregation of functions or for implementing virtual 
functions.
