I've seen too many software-based routers fall over with far, far less traffic than 1gb/sec to think otherwise.
Since you've seen "many software-based routers fall over", can you provide details on specific hardware/software/traffic patterns/rates where you've seen these failures? From what I can tell, software based routers are almost universally used in SOHO environments; so it would be nice to know when such solutions are no longer viable in your experience.
