In scaling upward. How would a linux router even if a kernel guru were to tweak and compile an optimized build, compare to a 7600/RSP720CXL or a Juniper PIC in ASIC? At some point packets/sec becomes a limitation I would think.
It scales quite well, I'm sure, if you take about 12-16 servers, interconnect them at 256+ gigabit, build your own communication protocols between them. Hmmm. This is starting to sound like the Juniper layout prior to them having hardware. :)
