Well, more directly to this point - they can do it on Linux, on modern distros, on all cpus supported. Those using with other OSes or older embedded gear or top brand switchs/routers like cisco, juniper, or arista are all still in a hole, as are most of the users of head end BRASes, CMTSes, etc. It would be nice to have the big folk announcing solutions and plans and so on before nagging the CTOS and CIOS with stuff they can´t just buy. Telling someone that they have to switch their entire edge network over to Linux is often a hard sell. I do keep hoping for a tilera or a cavium to pour this stuff into their chips and firmware, but so far no such luck.
