Looking for real word experiences virtualizing router and firewall services
with rates above 1Gbps on x86 platforms. Most testing I have been involved
with virtualizing routers and firewalls, performance drops
dramatically above 1Gbps.

Connections per second are critical for a firewall in particular, can a
virtual firewall handle high connections per second as appliances?

Anyone experience good results at 10GigE with a virtual firewall?

Where do you draw the line for router based virtualization?
