Ubiquiti claims for their EdgeMAX routers to reach 1 Mpps with their =
entry-level model (EdgeRouter LITE) and 2 Mpps with their bigger model =
(EdgeRouter). They have maximum power requirements of 12 W and 40 W, =
respectively.

I own the other entry-level device, with more ports and PoE (EdgeRouter =
PEO), but don't yet have it in productive use (and would not able to =
attest pps performance at that level anyway).=20

It seems to be quite capable a device, but the Web GUI doesn't cover the =
more interesting parts of its functions, and the documentation of the =
command-line UI, which is modeled strongly after Juniper's, seems to be =
less than fully complete, to say the least.

Might still work out if you are willing to find your way through it. I =
am not yet fully convinced, but then I haven't found much time to do so =
by now.
