Currently:

- 7 physical 'em'
- 6 loopback
- 1 discard
- 14 sub-ints off of the em devices

This particular one:

http://www.mikrotikrouter.com/732.asp

I paid ~$1500 CDN for.

I have other custom ones, and even some that are simply 2U servers
stuffed with NICs.

I'm sure I could get up to 500Kpps if I really tried.

Wow! Beautiful!

I'll have this set up this evening ;)

Myself, I could do without the server-side stuff anymore. I really enjoy
the network side of things. I'm pushing us through a relatively major
transformation in our network right now from topology down.

I'm glad this discussion came up, as some people give you a virtual
dirty look when you say you are a smaller ISP and use host-based routers
to push packets.

Cheers!
