More like 2M+ gate count.  Remember, you have to do BGP4 in silicon. ;)

I don't think Oxford Semiconductor would be able to deal - looks like they're
mostly in the FireWire/USB arena.  AMI has a 2M gate part, but it has a top
clock speed of 100Mhz 
(http://www.amis.com/asics/structured_asics/XPressArray.html),
which would be borderline in the high-end routers....
