Software Based Routing

in General
Hello everyone,
I would like to know what the largest amount of MPPS you have been able to handle via a software based router and what setup/design was involved?
I have seen some old posts about DDOS attacks with Vyatta hitting around 1MPPS but the NIC seemed to be the issue.

There are also information about using Intel fast-‐path architecture, GPUs, etc.

Thanks.
