There was a thread about this in the past. A PC router running GNU/Linux would be more flexible in terms of what it can do, and can be initially cheaper compared to an equivalent hardware appliance of the same capability, but at the cost of higher power consumption, higher failure rates due to the nature of mechanical parts, bus saturation (unless you're using the PCI-X bus found in server boards). If your needs aren't that great, sophisticated or whatnot, just get a consumer router appliance. Or you could build your own embedded Linux appliance. If you're to run something mission-critical consider everything before deploying anything. -- Paolo Alexis Falcone [EMAIL PROTECTED]
