Except that the goal you set below is very very hard to do on a software router unless its CPU has packet classification properties implemented in HW.

And then there are Systems on a Chip (SoC) like the Realtek 8650 that really take it to another level. See http://www.csie.nctu.edu.tw/~cfliu/work/8650.htm for more information; by most definitions here this would be a SoC 'hardware' router. It's in many very low cost SoHo devices, such as NetGear FVS114.
