Bill, alas, i think the days of being able to deploy one type of "god box" swiss-army-knife router are passing. depending on what it is that the router is planned to be "doing" defines its PPS requirements & what speeds/feeds you need to run various features at. from http://www.merit.edu/mailinglist/mailarchives/old_archive/2005-09/msg00635.html can you classify what functionality you see yourself as needing? that pretty much sets the discussion as to whether you're after something that can be s/w-forwarding or not ... cheers, lincoln.
