225kpps * 1500 bytes = 2.7Gbps. 225kpps * 64 bytes = 115Mbps. Or to put it another way, line rate on a GigE w/small packets is 1.488Mpps, of which 225kpps is only ~15%. As with any software router, the limitation is mostly in the lookups/sec, not the volume of traffic. If you don't care about high pps or predictable performance, or if you only have a 100Mbps uplink feeding the thing in the first place, a sw router may be fine. But keep in mind that a $100 linux box can put out 225kpps with one NIC tied behind its back, so you'd best hope you never get a DoS attack. -- Richard A Steenbergen <[email protected]> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
