Software router state of the art

[Zed Usser <zzuser () yahoo com>]

Hi all!

There's been some discussion on the list regarding software routers lately and this piqued my interest. Does anybody 
have any recent performance and capability statistics (eg. forwarding rates with full BGP tables and N ethernet 
interfaces) or any pointer to what the current state of art in software routers is?
