[ale] Choke point (or when to bring on router)

[krugerb at benning.army.mil (Bob Kruger)]

Folks;

Got a couple of questions for those who run large throughput capacity 
systems as a router and a firewall.

At what volume of traffic would you consider replacing a Linux box that 
serves as a router and firewall and replacing it with dedicated hardware 
like a Cisco?  Does anyone have any tips on tweaking a system to 
maximize throughput?

Regards - Bob Kruger
