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.
Is anyone building linux/bsd-box add-on cards with off the shelf packet processors? Maybe something with the likes of http://www.netlogicmicro.com/ or whatever? -- Scanned for viruses and dangerous content at http://www.oneunified.net and is believed to be clean.
