It may be overkill, but just think about this, with many ports iptables do not necesarily grow in a linear fashion. Also ipsec may add some more need for cycles. In my case, with experience on NSA 1125, I can say it is probably overkill, unfortunately I found no other box with that number of interfaces on PCI-express. Still no news on the LAN chips for now. Anyway, I might be forced to look at a 2.6 kernel in the future. Not entirely in line with LEAF as it is for now, but we may need to think about it.
