In all seriousness, if you want to roll your own based on FreeBSD, I 
have a couple of these units that I've been testing internally with that 
run FreeBSD off of a thumb drive.

They are being used to test the Quality of Quagga's implementation of 
BGP, and seem to run very well.

I haven't gone as far to really test them for pps or throughput yet, but 
they hold up well, no moving parts, not much more $ than a decent 
whitebox, and much smaller.
