You can however pick up a Mikrotik Routerboard RB1000 for less than $700 (not at best buy, but easy to find on the web) and it can forward 3.2Gbit/sec or 400,000pps. It also supports IPv6, BGP, and MPLS. If you're looking for consumer grade their smaller RB450G is under $100 and handles about 950Mbit or 140,000pps. It too supports IPv6, BGP, and MPLS but doesn't have enough RAM to handle a full IPv4 BGP route table.<div><br><div>
