The systems software for managing an IBM Blue Gene/Q supercomputer uses Boost.Asio extensively. The source code is available under the Eclipse Public License (EPL) if you're interested.

Am I supposed to delete it or what? You made your point already. It's been 6 years. Get over it. – Nicolás Oct 15 '16 at 18:06

Boost is extensively being used in serious networking software, take example of HPX uses boost libraries. HPX is implemented in C++11 and utilizes over 20 Boost and candidate Boost libraries. Have a look at http://cppnow.org/session/hpx-a-c11-parallel-runtime-system/

Also for more details you can refer Official "Boost library" Support for Android and iOS? describing how these are being deployed on smartphone os as well.

Hope it helps!
