"We started with the humble goal of being the first to get a PC router to 10 
[gigabytes per second], but we pushed it to 40," says Sue Moon, leader of 
the lab in which the research was conducted. Her students Sangjin Han and 
Keon Jang developed software called PacketShader that made this possible. 
PacketShader uses a computer's graphics processing unit (GPU) to help 
process packets of data sent across a network.

Altho I'm not real sure how they mean "based entirely on software" if it's 
using a GPU. :-)
