Yup.
And I always ask that question when people claim really high(!) throughput on
software forwarding. It turns out their throughput was single source/single
dest, and/or large packets (so high throughput, but low pps.)
I assume though that all of this is on x86 platform hardware. How does
this compare to Linux or FreeBSD running on something else like the
Cavium Octeon and other 64bit MIPS based processors?
