600Gbps in software is actually not unreasonable nowadays either, if
you're using something like DPDK. Go look at companies like 6WIND, they
claim on an Intel Xeon CPU, being able to do in excess of 5 million PPS
on a single core. Apparently scales as far as you can go. Granted,
there's a lot of development work to use DPDK, but it's allegedly possible.
I think most of the Procera stuff is actually done in software, I don't
think they have any dedicated ASICs, it's all Intel hardware. They
probably use DPDK.

Procera is done in hardware :) they also can stack their management in
distributed deployments.

Looks like I was wrong, they have some pretty big boxes.
