Have you had experience to compare real router eg: cisco VS linux router? eg: streaming speed... tcp / udp Thank you for your information
ssd's remove the spindle from the equation..otherwise they both have fans that do fail.
And I had a ticket from a few months ago with one of our transit-providers because they had a Juniper router reboot, it turned out this was because a harddisk failure of one of the routing engines. So 'real'-routers have those moving parts as well. ;-)
