spec: Layer 2-3 switch routers deliver aggregate throughput rates of millions of packets per second ( pps ) , compared to throughput in the range of 100,000 pps to one million pps for the latest general-purpose routers . `` To me that image of putting someone in a crucible is like when you fire a pot to make it immortal . Via the proposed architecture , we suggest that general-purpose routers can be designed to accommodate a variety of multiprocessor interconnection networks .
