If you're interested in raw pps numbers and willing to use something
other than pktgen to attain them, you might want to look into the intel
IXP-based boards.  You actually have to write some microcode and upload
it to an on-chip processor array, but you can easily sustain wirespeed
at 4Gbps (IXP2400-based) or 10Gbps (IXP2800-based.)
