If you value your sanity, avoid the Brocade MLX gear. No memory protection,
and the CLI is horribly horribly horribly buggy and inconsistent.

(To their credit, they recently added a feature to their CLI to support the
backspace key).

Otherwise, all will do hardware forwarding at linerate in most
configurations (modulo any backplane oversubscription). And you will get
your BGP tables into them no problem.
