Umm their BW must be bagazillions then. Considering that 2Mbps leased lines are a luxury in most places, you would have to munge a few cds physically thru the router to get that traffic.
I was talking about the general case and not the specific case Rony mentioned. You could replace all CISCO / Juniper / whatever routers in India with x86 boxes and not have any effect on the overall efficiency of the network :)
partly true. However read previous para. A slow poke 33MBs (264mbps) pci slot will be able to handle a 100mbps local pipe blasting stuff out on a 2Mbps external link.
Well the I/O bus is the main bottleneck followed by the CPU. Again, I'm talking about the general case and not Ronu's specific case.
