I won't argue that an ASIC isn't faster, but it is hard to argue that Vyatta
isn't capable of high-end performance.

aeh - mpps - mega packets per second - is really low.
and the gbps scale in figure 4 is wrong - factor 10 to high.
1gige linerate: 1,9mpps
10gige linerate: 19mpps
and intel is proud to achieve 1,6mpps at 2 10gige cards?
I have seen higher values at pc hardware - but still not compareable to
asics.
Kind regards,
