I didn't say that a 250kpps box was a high-end box.
One reliable Mpps is not high-end either, but it can carry quite a lot
of Mbps. What is C or M price for a reliable full feed Mpps ?
"My" high-end boxes never manage to impress me with their pps
capability before I'm disapointed in their reliability.
