I am looking at replacing our aging Cisco 7206VXR border routers with servers running RouterOS. CPU-wise I am considering Xeon X3460s, 2.8Ghz quad-cores with hyper-threading support. Network cards will be Intel E1G44ETs. I will be running BGP and OSPF. Does anyone have a similar setup? I'm wondering (at least roughly) what kind of throughput I might be able to expect.
Thanks for any input.
