Frankly what percentage of linux powered machines act as high perf
routers ?

More than you think, every Linux machine acting as hypervisor (Xen and KVM)
is also doing this.

High perf router meant : ability to route 10 Mpps, without help of TSO.

If an hypervisor is enable to use TSO, I expect very bad performances
anyway.
