While you could probably build a linux router that is just as fast as a real hardware router, you're always going to run into the moving pieces part of the equation.
In almost all scenarios, moving parts are more prone to failure than non-moving parts.
Regardless of what you find out in your research, consider the above in your cost-benefit analysis.

Hi All
Actually, what is the different hardware router VS linux router?
Have you had experience to compare real router eg: cisco VS linux router?
eg: streaming speed... tcp / udp
Thank you for your information
