That depends on if your network card supports TOE. If your network card supports full TCP offload then your routing latency can be as low as .6-1.4 us. If you have to go through the entire TCP software stack it's around 20-40 us, on 10Gb hardware. Full TCP offload puts it in the same ballpark a hardware router.
