This contradicts my experience - I've repeatedly witnessed only a few mb/sec
of 64-byte packets making software-based routers fall over, including just last
month.

On the flip side, there's a *lot* of sites that have to make trade-offs, and the
risk that their $10K software-based router may fall over doesn't justify adding
another zero to the price tag, especially if their network includes a lot of
branch offices that would all add another zero....
