There are number of open source router/Firewalls are available .
1. Vyatta:- It is based on XORP routing software architecture. Its is very good open source routers/ firewalls. you require less than 30 minutes to make a router or firewall from any i386 based machines. Configuration is very simple. It also has a GUI running over HTTPS. I have not tested its GUI thoroughly. But command lines configuration is very good and self explanatory. you may test live CD to have a feel of it.
2. XORP:- It is Linux based routing software architecture. I have not tested it.
3. pfsense:-It is freeBSD based open soucre software architecture. Mainly it is used for firewall purpose. But it also support OSPF. It is a fork of monowall.
4. ZEBRA:- Its is mainly UNIX based routing software architecture. Quagga a fork of ZEBRA and more popular that Zebra.
