Enough with the bipartisan politics. There are more choices than just
Linux and FreeBSD for software routing.

Anyone have experience with RouterOS (http://www.mikrotik.com/)?
Created mostly to run on these guys I think
(http://www.routerboard.com/comparison.html) which generally don't get
above 200k pps on the higher models.. But will RouterOS run on bigger
boxen?
Yes I do, and I'm still in therapy. I was pushing 30mbit, and I can't
remember how many PPS through one, and it crashed about once a month
requiring onsite intervention (usually at midnight). This was running
on a Compaq Deskpro I think. It doesn't have much support for good
network cards. I suspect the Realtek's were behind the crashes.
