Thank you,
 
I guess you are correct,
 
To me it seemed like this would "Route switch" incase of too many ACKs, too many small byte packets, or a nice SYN flood attack across my network would be a disaster for my equipment!

If you want 1.6 Mpps or more of realistic traffic per slot, you probably
want a box with hardware (ASIC) based forwarding. 7500 is definitely
*not* what you are looking for.

Cisco 7300, 7600, 10720 or 12000. Various Junipers. But not Cisco 7500.
