To Ann's question on resources; I have only used Linux routers with 1G ports but have surpassed 10G total throughput (up+ down) using various dual proc set ups, most often Intel Xeon in Dell servers. A gentlemen by the name of Martin Pels wrote a good paper on the subject early last year that can be found here: http://docs.rodecker.nl/10-GE_Routing_on_Linux.pdf. He hit a wall at 700K pps and was using two dual core Intel Xeon 64bit 2.33GHz CPUs and 2GB of RAM in a Dell PowerEdge 1950.
Mike Tancsa did some benchmarking in late 2006: http://www.tancsa.com/blast.html I think things are slightly faster now but not because of a massive change in software architecture. Adrian
