Routing n*GE at line rate isn't difficult these days, even with all 64-byte packets and other "DoS" conditions.
Linksys, D-Link, SMC, etc are able to pull it off on the layer 3 switches sold at Fry's for a couple benjamins a pop. :) Sorry, I thought you were serious.
I am. All of these boxes can forward packets at line rate, and list for a fraction of the price of the Force 10 S-Series.
a dlink dsg-3627g is a quite a few benjamins... but given that switch asics for said class of products are widely available and cheap, the difference between vender a and vendor b in that class of switch is futher up in the software stack.
I'll be correcting your other posts shortly!
