This particular relay has one processor with 8 cores at 2 GHz, Mediaproxy 2.4.4, no virtualization.  RAM utilization is negligible.

The network card, most likely. The Linux kernel is able to move packets really fast, but with that big amount of traffic you'll need good network cards that  won't kill your CPU with interrupts. Using irqbalance in case there are too many of them also helps.
