[LARTC] Linux router performance

[Fermín Galán Márquez]

Hi,

I wonder about the performance of a Linux box used as router (I guest I'm
not the first :). Althought I know it mainly depends on the hardware, I'm
trying to find some references on the topic or comparations with other
routing solutions (FreeBSD box used as router, Cisco, etc). For example,
http://facweb.cti.depaul.edu/jyu/Publications/Yu-Linux-TSM2004.pdf
(althought is related with Linux-briding more than with Linux-routing) shows
in Figure 14 that with an AMD Duron 1.3GHz 512M RAM a throughput of 90 Mbps
can be achieved.

Anybody knows any other similar analysis, please?

Best regards,
