    Hardware:

    CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00GHz (2998.57-MHz 686-class CPU)
    real memory = 2146631680 (2096320K bytes)

    12 fxp interfaces, 8 vlans on some of those fxp interfaces
    working as core.LF.net.

    Throughput: 100mbit peak was possible. All the hardware is
    100mbit. We currently prepare a gigE testbed to spread the load.

    The tests I made using some shuttle.com barebone hardware etc
    seems to max out around 500 mbit/sec. It wasn't a full-blown BGP setup,
    far from it. More seems easily be possible, but we still need
    to test.
