At 10gbps the type of traffic can also influence your solutions.
IE if you are pushing a buttload of 20 byte packets all from random 
sources with a full bgp table it'll need way more grunt than something 
shuffling jumbo frames from one source to one dest.

IE for the latter case a pfsense firewall with a CARP setup will 
probably do the job for you if you pick your hardware well for a few K. 
If you are trying to support the former case you will need something 
that does all that in asic, you will want briefcases of money for that.
