this plattform can handle about
100.000pps and 400mbit 1500byte packets with freebsd
http://lannerinc.com/Network_Application_Platforms/x86_Network_Appliance/1U_Network_Appliances/FW-7550
hardware:
4x pci 32bit, 33mhz intel gbit
1gb cf-card
1gb ram
with this hardware even more pps should be possible:

hardware:
7x pcie (1lane each) connected network
add freebsd-net mailinglist people achieved nearly 1.000.000pps with
servers (hp-servers)
I suggest to use freebsd os if quagga is the routing daemon as
quagga runs more stable than on linux.
I have currently 300days uptime at my border routers (2x FW-7550), last
week I had a peak with 230mbit's; no problem to handle.
Kind regards,
