A collegue smartbits tested a 1GHz pc, with a full feed and 250k simoultaneons flows it managed around 250kpps. This also with freebsd and device polling. It sounds to me like a software based machine can be plenty fast with good code under the hood.
Sorry, in today's world of high-end routers 250kpps doesn't qualify as "plenty fast". Can your box do linerate Gigabit Ethernet with minimum size packets, on several ports simultaneously? Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
