What's "ALL features"?  IP/IPX/Appletalk/DECnet/policy routing/NAT/?

The performance numbers for the 28xx and 38xx series are online, and
have been verified by independent parties - a 28xx will easily do E3,
even with ACLs etc. active.

If you kill the CPU by sending it 10000 BGP-Updates per second, the
forwarding performance will start to suffer - but this will happen with
about any platform, depending on the amount of garbage you throw at it.
