It depends on how much bandwidth you have, and how much you are willing to
build. You can easily put together a linux box with Quagga or Zebra, and
about that many ports for fairly short money. Especially if you have
mostly 100Meg ports. I've seen linux boxes handle a few 100Meg cards at
pretty much full speed. PCI-X is fast.
