Not much really, besides your personal preference and the configurability of
the device (will maintaining some semblance of sanity), there are some very
nice custom linux based appliances out there e.g. vyatta routers, which
boast 10 times throughput of Cisco (2800 series) routers, however it all
comes down to what you want to do.

Subject: real hardware router VS linux router
Hi All
Actually, what is the different hardware router VS linux router?
Have you had experience to compare real router eg: cisco VS linux router?
eg: streaming speed... tcp / udp
Thank you for your information
