[AusNOG] Software Defined Routers

[Rob Thomas]

Well, that's kinda the point of actually doing performance tests! 8)

If you didn't read the article, using 4 cores of a 7 year old CPU can
route 12gbit of traffic at 13% cpu (or 17gbit on a 4 year old CPU), I
think the actual data speaks for itself.

Unfortunately, after 20gbit, it gets hard to GENERATE that amount of
traffic. When 100gbit connections are more common, it'll probably be
easier.
