Thanks very much guys, much useful information. I'll be sure to purchase servers with the fastest graphics cards possible! We had a Juniper tech in today, and he suggested the SRX-3600. It's almost certainly faster than any single software platform can do (~18Gbps IMIX), but is it worth 10 times the price, and 5U of rack space? Especially for a parallisable problem. Junos can't come close to the scriptable service monitoring and route manipulation that almost trivially easy on openbsd either. -- Mike Williams
