This is true. But show me a model in which this works and which can update that forwarding table 20x/second (at full load WHILE switching packets).
That's what Netstar claims.
CISCO can't even *dream* of getting close to this level of performance.

I think I'd be happy if it could update the entire forwarding table (only) a few times a second, but could switch a few gigabits worth of IP packets per second.

Uh, the Netstar box *IS* called the "Gigarouter".
