A completely fair statement, it all comes down to throughput
requirements. A hardware based platform will always beat the pants off
of a software based platform, but when you talk about control plane
flexibility and reducing your odds for forwarding problems, software
is the way to go.
Peering router selection isn't about throughput requirements, it's about
PPS requirements in the face of what the Internet should decide to throw
at the router at random time X+pi.
