the only routers I know of that have gigabit interfaces (and can fully exploit them) are the very highend routers, like Cisco's 7200 series, GSR series as well as Foundry's similar products and the routing blades that go in higher end switches like the Extreme Summit or Cisco's Catalyst 6500 series.

And as byte points out, you can get 'em, you just gotta pay for 'em.

BTW, gigabit level routers are usually used to terminate multiple T3's, multiple OC (12's, 48's and 192's) pipes and the like.
