Folks have been asking about XORP in this thread.
XORP can take a full BGP feed just fine as long as you have enough
memory.; for a full default-free-zone feed, you are looking at in the
region of 1GB - 1.5GB, perhaps less if you use aggregation.
If you look at the NSDI '05 paper you'll see that it has a number of
benefits over existing designs, BGP route propagation in particular
should be faster:

The architecture is deliberately structured so that forwarding
functionality may be implemented in hardware. I believe XORP may work
with the NetFPGA but don't have firm information about this.
IPv6 support is strong as XORP was designed to route IPv6 from the start
as a whole suite - multicast support is also strong.
regards,
BMS
[Note: my opinion may be biased as I served on XORP core team for a few
years, and still actively contribute code to the project.]
