""The ultra high end of the market will always be silicon switching," Dave Roberts, vice president of strategy and marketing at Vyatta told InternetNews.com. "The question is how far can go with software."

"Vyatta develops software that can run on commodity hardware powered by Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) or AMD (NYSE: AMD) processors. Vyatta also offers its own hardware appliances that also use general purpose Intel or AMD processors. Roberts argued that as Intel and AMD push the envelope on general purpose processor capabilities, software based routing technology will continue to grow and scale."
