You are wrong.
A Linux router must be significantly faster than a cisco2600.
Think logically - cpu at 25-33MHz processing route info relative
to a Linux box at say 200 to 450MHz -
the result still goes through an ethernet card or two in both cases
- so the Linux box MUST be faster - QED!
I can get route delays of less than 1ms on a Linux box.
Admittedly, the Linux system is hardly being stressed!
