My understanding is that the setup needs to allow them to work on packet routing at those speeds, not just send/receive, to simulate SCION.
By my guess, a competent and efficient implementation should be able to run the routing logic at ~30-100 million packets per second per core. That would be ~300-1,000 Gb/s per core, so you would bottleneck on your memory bandwidth if you have even a single copy.
