What you have listed (Unix & Windows) are applications the router passes via
the lower layers of the OSI model. Routers are like the mail service. I
can send almost anything as long as it is using the TCP/IP (unless you have
configured bridging) & both parties find the "send time" (delay) acceptable.
Cisco IOS is only seen by the router & can only be changed through
management (in-band/ a remote connection or out of band/ through the
DataStream). I have been told Cisco uses a Unix kernel for their source
code.
