And it's available as a standalone box?

routing tables are NOT static. Switching is working fine, but the size of

All routes are static for short periods of time.

This has all been discussed before, but there are advantages to doing
route table calculation on general purpose machines.

FWIW, the whole issue is has too many similarities to the old uucp
